Infoshop.org is an anarchist website and project of the Alternative Media Project.
Infoshop was founded in January 1995 as the Mid-Atlantic Infoshop by Chuck Munson. Having previously co-founded an online archive of anarchist texts, the Spunk Library, in 1992, Munson established Infoshop as a general resource on anarchism, moving to the domain name Infoshop.org in 1998. Munson reorganized the website as a collective project in 2001, and as of November 2008[update], it is run by a core of nine people, supplemented by regular writers and volunteers. Having previously being involved in publishing Practical Anarchy magazine, the collective announced plans on launching a quarterly magazine titled Infoshop News & Views to go "head-to-head against other American leftist magazines".
