Founded in 1967, the North East Labour History Society is Britain's oldest regional labour history society. It is dedicated to the study of working people's history in the region, particularly during the modern period. We have a committee drawn up from labour historians and activists in the region. We encourage an atmosphere of debate and discussion on both historical and contemporary issues. Members of the society are involved in various projects, including the mapping of workers' history in the region since the second world war. We have a strong interest in recording the lives of people who contributed to the history of this region, and support local oral history. We are also keen to find and save personal effects and papers of relevance to North East history. We publish an annual journal, North East History. To learn more about working people's history in the North East, check out our Reader's Guide and add to it your own favourites. We organise speaking events on a roughly bi-monthly basis and also social events such as walks, a river cruise and music nights. We also carry reports of our wide range of activities. To find out more details about joining the society, you can follow the link here. We also have links to other interesting history websites. Check 'other links' for a new north east bibliography site |
