The infoshop was entirely volunteer run and brought together works from various anarchist collectives such as AK Press, Beehive Design Collective and CrimethInc. Events such as vegan barbecues and book swaps were also hosted frequently. In 2007, the Brian MacKenzie Infoshop was the site of Dara Greenwald's presentation: Realizing the Impossible Tour.[3] Co-ordinators of the Infoshop were Ryan and Wade Fletcher.[4]
The Brian MacKenzie Infoshop collective was first established in 1999. The Infoshop opened its doors in May 2003, and closed at the end of December 2008.[1]
