As reported on BLDGBLOG, and on many other sources, As of about 16 hours ago, the Archigram Archival Project is finally online courtesy of the University of Westminster.

All two longtime SMJ readers will surely recognize, the profound influence the Archigram collective has had on ShitMyJorts in specific, and on the greater worldwide community of huge crane enthusiasts in general cannot be understated. Enjoy.
