Archival material is looking for people who would take care and let the others use it.

Spirit Of Squatters would like to give archival material to the public !
We, Spirit Of Squatters Collective, we have nice present for all of You :)
Longer than 10 years we collected a lot of archive material from all different actions, demonstrations, squattings, concerts, festivals, action camps etc. etc. Not only form NL but also from other parts of the world. Not only posters, leaflets, newspapers, books, zines, stickers, photos, copies etc. After dreaming to long for creating a place where we can give/show it to the public now we said its enough and we would like pass this task to You. So if You have place where things could be exposed, where people could have access to them we would love to give You this beautiful collection and big piece history of activism. Just contact us !

"i dont like institutions who cannot clearlty put on there site what they do and why".... You mean, like the Spirit of Squatters? Serious, IISG is worthwhile taking a shot. Great collection, dedicated employees, they really try to be part of the collective memory of the social movements, and yes, until now they also manage to be state-funded, which is a rare case of well-spent government money (= 'our' money, as in 'everyone's money').

i love the spirit of squatters youtube channel, it has loads of good stuff-
http://www.youtube.com/user/spiritofsquatters

and yeah following on from above posters, the benefits of archiving in some sort of institution are clear - people have access to it, there's less chance of it being stolen/destroyed

besides, on a 2 minute check of the iisg website, it seems you can search their catalogue:

The catalogue, indexes on archives and image and sound collections, some databases, and the IISH-website can be accessed through search.iisg.nl.

For information on consultation of documents, ordering reproductions, address and opening hours of the reading room - go to Services.

in any case, don't throw it away!! i heard that's what eric duinvoorden ended up doing with a lot of stuff....
