| Description | A bound volume labelled ‘Fascist, Vol. VIII’. It is a scrapbook of newspaper cuttings, with each cutting stuck in place and annotated with the date of the article and the name of the newspaper.

The cuttings in this scrapbook mainly consist of:
- published letters to newspapers, exhibiting pro-fascist and/or antisemitic attitudes;

- reports of anti-fascist actions to disrupt fascist meetings;
- published letters and reports on the position of the Christianity in relation to fascism. |
