The People: Official Organ of the Australian Socialist League, also known as The People and the Collectivist, was a weekly English language newspaper published in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
History[edit]
In 1898 the Australian Socialist League began publishing The People and the Collectivist. The paper was formed by the union of Northern People and the Collectivist.[1] On 29 December 1900 the title changed to The People: Official Organ of the Australian Socialist League. The title changed in 1919 to The Revolutionary Socialist, published by the Socialist Labor Party. It absorbed the Victorian publication One Big Union Herald and ceased around 1971.[2]
Digitisation[edit]
The various versions of the paper have been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program[3] project hosted by the National Library of Australia.[4] Digitised copies can be accessed by members of the public through Trove.
