Anarchism and the Platformist Tradition is a new archive with a nice collection of platformist texts, starting, naturally, with the 1926 Organisational Platform of the General Union of Anarchists (Draft), but including both prior and subsequent contributions to the platformist tradition.

I’m ultimately unsympathetic to the solutions offered by platformism, but value the debates. Take a look.
