'''Paul Arthur Müller-Lehning ''' (23 October 1899 – 1 January 2000) was a Dutch author, historian and anarchist.
==Biography== Arthur Lehning was born in the Dutch city of [[Utrecht]] on 23 October 1899. He studied in [[Berlin]], where he was first introduced to [[anarchism]] and became involved in [[prisoner support]] activism, aiding anarchist political prisoners in the nascent [[Soviet Union]]. In 1922, he joined the [[International Anti-Militarist Bureau]] (IAMB) and the [[IWA-AIT|International Workers' Association]] (IWA), within which he advanced the proposal of using a [[general strike]] as a means to end wars. In 1927, he joined the press service of the International Anti-Militarist Commission, which resulted from a collaboration between the IAMB and IWA.{{Sfnm|1a1=Enckell|1y=2020|2a1=Heath|2y=2004}} He also published the ''i10'' art magazine, which drew contributions from numerous prominent artists.{{Sfnm|1a1=Enckell|1y=2020|2a1=Heath|2y=2004|3a1=Huber|3y=2024}}
Lehning was appointed as secretary of the IWA in 1932 and served in this post until 1935. The following year, he travelled to Spain to witness the [[Spanish Revolution of 1936]]. At the outbreak of [[World War II]], he oversaw the transfer of the archives of the [[International Institute of Social History]] (IISG) from [[Amsterdam]] to [[Oxford]], where they remained until the [[Netherlands in World War II#Liberation|liberation of the Netherlands]] in 1945. Over the 1960s and 1970s, he edited the collected works of [[Mikhail Bakunin]].{{Sfnm|1a1=Enckell|1y=2020|2a1=Heath|2y=2004}}
