An Online Archive of 
Socialist History and Thought

Over the past 100 years, socialists in Canada and Québec have written a vast amount on the political issues they considered important, but virtually none of those writings are available  today. The experiences, ideas, analyses and insights of a century of socialism are in danger of being forgotten and lost forever.

The Socialist History Project, launched in June 2004 by South Branch Publishing, aims to recover that material and make it available on the web. There are now hundreds of documents, including several full-length books on this site. For  complete lists, click on "Document Index" or "Reminiscences Index" in the top menu.

We welcome suggestions, ideas and contributions. Please email us before sending any material: address all correspondence to ian@socialisthistory.ca
