Updating the Census of Anarchists in the French Resistance

• Ongoing efforts to document the participation of Spanish anarchists in the French Resistance.
• The research relies on exponentially growing data from the OFPRA (French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons) 'Spanish File' and collaborative archives like the 'Murcianos de Dinamita' project.
• The current update covers entries from A through M, with plans for a comprehensive, corrected final release in the near future.

Scope of the Census

• The census is a living document, actively incorporating new individuals while removing entries found to be erroneous or misidentified as anarchist.
• Significant additions include previously overlooked female combatants, such as María Fernández Magaña and María Dolores Mena.
• Entries provide details on individuals like Abraham Guillén and the illustrator and forger Luis García Gallo (known as 'Coq' within the Ponzán network).

Methodological Sources

• OFPRA 'Spanish File' digital archives.
• Research and regional studies including 'Une histoire d’imposture' by Collectif Les Autres and various militant anarchist dictionaries.
• Cross-referencing against personal histories of resistance members and secondary documentation from projects tracking Spanish republican contributions to European anti-fascism.
