Daniel De Leon

Internet Archive

The Daniel De Leon Internet Archive (DDLIA) presents the works listed below through courtesy of the Socialist Labor Party of America. The SLP (established 1877) has graciously agreed to allow the Marxists Internet Archive to mirror these files on the DDLIA.

The works assembled here have been transcribed from newspapers and other periodicals that De Leon edited or for which he wrote. Most come directly from bound volumes of The People (established as a New York weekly on April 5, 1891) and the New York Daily People (1900-1914).

The SLP endeavors to make this Internet collection the first truly comprehensive library of De Leon’s works. Additions to the collection are being made once or twice a month. Robert Bills, currently national secretary of the SLP and acting editor The People, is responsible for the work and can be contacted at slpns@slp.org

These documents currently appear in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format. To read or display them you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader (or Exchange) installed on your computer. Acrobat Reader is available FREE for Windows, Macintosh or UNIX operating systems.

As our contribution to bringing De Leon’s works to the Internet, the DDLIA will begin the process of converting these files into HTML for easier viewing on the World Wide Web. Both PDF and HTML will be available for all the files. Currently the PDF library is quite large and growing, and is actually bigger than our HTML library.
