In creating this digital archive I had access to complete runs of Communist International for all of the USA / NY City / CP USA - published issues in the period of 1934 - 1939 (in most cases from original issues... in other cases from the 1968 Greenwood Press reprint of CI). I had access to only very limited numbers of source issues for presenting the digital archive of the British / London / CPGB - published issues. Thus, on this (and the other) pages here where we present the BRITISH CI issues 1934 - 1939, the presentation will (for now) be incomplete. Varying from as much as 3/4 of the issues printed in a given year (1934) to as little as, in some cases, a single one of the 12 issues printed in a given year. I... and all of us at Marxists Internet Archive... will continue to try to get access for scanning of more of the British issues.
