The international press service of the Communist International

⟶ Back to the main Inprecor age ⟵

As of October 8, 2021, all but the last (issue 20) presentation of scans of Inprecor from 1921 have been entirely revised. The scans from microfilm previously present have been replaced with much sharper, higher quality scans from orignial paper, made by Marty Goodman and the Riazanov Library digital archive project. The quality of the scans now is good enough for us to add high quality, effective optical character recognition to the files, previously often impossible given the lower quality of images scanned from microfilm.

No original paper was available to scan for Vol. 1 No. 20, so we present that issue scanned from microfilm made by Stanford University.

For the twenty 1921 Inprecor issues, we also provide here tables of contents of each issue, built up by Tim Davenport.
