Some of my Spanish Civil War internet information sources

I thought I would post up some of my web based sources of original photos and information, that I have used for my research into Spanish Civil War Kit. The number of photo journalists in Spain combined with the significance of propaganda imagery to both sides means that there is a wealth of pictorial evidence available to researchers.

Sociedad Benéfica de Historiadores Aficionados y Creadores
This is a great site with lots of  photos of the Spanish Civil War, as well as details of some of the people that took part, the weapons and the propaganda. This site focuses on the Republican side.

La Bataille Socialiste
This Blog is my main source of info on documents and newspapers of the POUM.

Rojo y Azul- La Guerra Civil Española
This site is useful for details of things like grenades, which has been useful for designing grenade belts etc.

Vehiculos y blindados de la Guerra Civil
Lots of pics of vehicles from the Civil War.

Grupo Frente del Nalón
This Spanish Reenactment group has some good galleries of original photos Including one of female Militia.

New York Times slide show of photos by Gerda Taro
This isn't a great source, but still has a few of Gerda Taros pics from the Spanish Civil War.

The Marxist Internet Archieve.
Ok so no pictures here, but a great source for information on the POUM and other parties as well as for the International Left responce to the Spanish Civil War.
