Extent and medium

The State Archives are housed at the IISG in Amsterdam. The IISG also holds a separate archive of 'Kraak' newspaper published by the squatter movement, as well as an archive of its successor publication 'Bluf!'. Kraak was published in Amsterdam from October 1976 to May 1981 by squatters from the Nieuwmarkt and Staats areas in Amsterdam. It was replaced by Bluf!, an 'independent' weekly which had a broader scope than Kraak. Bluf! was published from January 1982 to April 1988, and covered topics such as feminism, squatting, anti-militarism, the anti-nuclear movement, anti-racism and anti-fascism, as well as the anti-apartheid struggle.
