Custodial history:
This collection has been created by the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Race Relations Resource Centre from a number of sources. The core of the collection is fascist and anti-fascist literature donated by Mike Luft in 2002. Mike was a prominent figure in anti-fascist activism in Greater Manchester, including as secretary of Oldham United Against Racism, a group formed in response to the fascist activity in the town that sparked rioting in the summer of 2001.
Further material has been added from other sources, including the Commission for Racial Equality library (originally donated to the Resource Centre in 2008) and the family of Martin Bobker, a Jewish, anti-fascist activist and educator from Cheetham Hill in Manchester.
