Resistance Archive

Here is a prototype for the Resistance Archive. When it is launched the archive will build an entire social history of protest, from more than 50 years of video, photo and documents. Feel free to try it out by clicking some tags in the word cloud, or by typing into the search bar (detailed advice below).

Visit this page for instructions about how to search the archive.
