About the archive
The purpose of the archive is fairly self-evident. The idea is just to gather as many manifestos as possible, in a fully searchable and public format. The manifestos themselves are, of course, the property of the authoring parties. I don't have permission to host them here, but I'm hoping that parties will just be cool about it.
The idea for this came about when I was trying to do an essay two years ago, and was looking for some manifestos from the 70s (mostly in reference to EC membership). Pre-internet manifestos are pretty tough to find, so hopefully this will be of some help to people in similar situations, or those who just have an interest in this sort of thing.
The site design is a heavily-modified version of the Conservation Design by Studio 7. They make some lovely sites professionaly, and offer a few nice free templates.
About Me
My name's Michael Pidgeon, and I live in Dublin. I'm a student doing the MEconSc in European Economic and Public Affairs in UCD. I should probably mention that I'm an active member of the Green Party, and have been for a few years. (That said, there probably isn't much room for bias on this site. If you spot any, do email me!)
