  • Spunk Library (també coneguda com a Spunk Press) va ser un arxiu anarquista d'Internet. El nom "spunk" va ser escollit pel significat del terme en suec ("tot el que vulguem que signifiqui"), anglès ("coratge o esperit") i australià ("una persona atractiva"), resumit pel lloc web com "no descriptiu", enèrgic, valent i atractiu". Segons el bibliotecari anarquista Chuck Munson, la biblioteca va començar com a Spunk Press el 1992. Els col·laboradors fundadors (Ian Heavens, Jack Jansen, Andrew Flood, Iain McKay i els editors de Practical Anarchy Munson i Mikael Cardell) es van conèixer originalment a través d'un fòrum en línia, és a dir, la llista de correu electrònic de discussió sobre l'anarquia de Jansen. La Biblioteca va ser dirigida per un col·lectiu editorial durant la dècada de 1990. No pretenia reemplaçar l'⁣edició impresa, sinó que servia a un aparador que promocionava editors de llibres, diaris i revistes anarquistes. L'any 1995 ja era l'arxiu anarquista més gran de material publicat catalogat en xarxes informàtiques, tot i que s'enfrontava a un assalt mediàtic acusant-lo de col·laborar amb terroristes com la Facció de l'Exèrcit Roig, de donar instruccions per a la fabricació de bombes i de coordinar la "disrupció en escoles, saqueig de comerços i atacs a empreses multinacionals". La Biblioteca va romandre en gran part inactiva durant la primera dècada dels anys 2000, amb la darrera actualització de la pàgina d'inici el març de 2002. La Rough Guide to the Internet descriu que la Biblioteca està "organitzada de manera ordenada i amb una autoritat calmada". Chris Atton, que va escriure a Alternative Media (2002) va aclamar el lloc com un "anunci d'anarquisme socialment responsable amb un pedigrí intel·lectual important", i va remarcar que "en un món on l'anarquisme encara és en gran manera ridiculitzat o difamat pels mitjans de comunicació, això és una funció important" i feu una comparació amb el lloc web Infoshop.org.

  • The Spunk Library (also known as Spunk Press) was an anarchist Internet archive. The name "spunk" was chosen for the term's meaning in Swedish ("anything we want it to mean"), English ("courage or spirit"), and Australian ("an attractive person"), summarized by the website as "nondescript, energetic, courageous and attractive". According to anarchist librarian Chuck Munson, the library was begun as Spunk Press in 1992. The founding contributors – Ian Heavens, Jack Jansen, Andrew Flood, Iain McKay and Practical Anarchy editors Munson and Mikael Cardell – originally met via an online forum, namely Jansen's Anarchy Discussion email list. The Library was run by an editorial collective during the 1990s. It was not intended to replace print publishing, but rather served a shop window promoting anarchist book publishers, newspapers and journals. By 1995, it was already the largest anarchist archive of published material catalogued on computer networks, though it faced a media assault accusing it of collaborating with terrorists such as the Red Army Faction, of providing instructions for bomb-making and of coordinating the “disruption of schools, looting of shops and attacks on multinational firms.” The Library remained largely inactive during the first decade of the 2000's, with the home page last being updated in March 2002. The Rough Guide to the Internet described the Library as being "organized neatly and with reassuring authority". Chris Atton, writing in Alternative Media (2002) hailed the site as an "advertisement for socially responsible anarchism with a significant intellectual pedigree", remarking that "[i]n a world where anarchism is still largely derided or maligned by the mass media, that is an important function" and drawing a comparison to Infoshop.org.
