What other languages and related sites does The Anarchist Library link to?

Updated

The Anarchist Library (theanarchistlibrary.org) is the English-language hub of a much larger multilingual network. Its navigation menu lists sister libraries in more than 30 languages, plus several regional and constructed-language collections, and the site footer links to at least one related project, anarchistnews.org. Each language version is a separate site with its own operators, but they are presented together as one library network.

Language versions linked from the main site

The language list appears in the site's navigation menu under "Other languages." As shown on the homepage, it includes:

Regional and constructed-language collections

Beyond national languages, the same menu lists collections organized by region or shared language:

  • Esperanto Anarchist Library — for the constructed language Esperanto
  • Southeast Asian Anarchist Library — a regional collection
  • South Asian Anarchist Library — a regional collection

These sit alongside the national-language libraries rather than under a separate heading, so the menu mixes language and region as organizing principles.

Related sites

The footer of the homepage links to anarchistnews.org, an affiliated news site. The page also points to several other resources tied to the project itself:

  • A Bookshelf (wiki)
  • Live Chat (IRC/Matrix)
  • Tor Onion Services
  • A Donate link
  • SHH! THIS IS A LIBRARY! (forums)
  • Librarian Picks
  • Mobile applications and an RSS feed
  • A torrent of the library (tal.torrent), with a magnet link on the torrent bookshelf page

How the network is organized

The English site functions as the central index: it hosts the shared navigation, search, and browsing tools (Titles, Authors, Topics, Latest entries), while each linked library runs independently in its own language. The practical implication is that a text available in English may or may not exist in another language version, and vice versa — you need to check the specific sister site rather than assume the catalogs are mirrored. If you want material in a particular language, start from that language's library in the menu rather than searching the English site.
