Cataloguing the archives of the Trades Union Congress, 1970-90

Project start date: 2002-04 Project end date: 2005-03
The aim of cataloguing the records of the Trades Union Congress is to make their materials more widely and easily accessible to researchers. The TUC dealt with a whole range of union related matters such as wages, disputes, health and safety in the workplace and union representation. They were also involved in social and political issues such as racism and sexual discrimination. Their labour connections stretched accross the world from New Zealand to Nicaragua and Finland to the Falklands. This project will help show that the TUC's records may be a potential source for researchers interested in a range of subjects.
