CASBAH SURVEY REPORT

Introduction

The Survey

• TUC library card catalogue

• Printed sources collections

• Archival collections

Survey Data

Appendix

• TUC library (titles listed according to subject headings) & Marjorie Nicholson (Books and Key figures)

Section One - Introduction

The core areas of the Trades Union Congress Library Collections are reference and historical works related to the:

• Trade union movement
• Union publications from the UK and overseas
• Documents relating to working conditions and industrial relations in various industries and countries
• Material collected from the various campaigns and policy areas in which the TUC has been involved since its foundation in 1868.

A major strength of the Library is the large holdings of pamphlets, periodicals and other ephemera collected in connection with the work of the TUC International and Colonial Advisory Committees. The majority of this material dates from the 1920s onwards, although some earlier pamphlets date back to the 19th century. The Library itself has its origins in the TUC International Bureau, whose function was to collect, file and distribute information from international and overseas political and labour movements.

Accordingly, trade unionism, organised action, and political struggle - throughout the Caribbean as well as in the UK - were key organising themes of the survey methodology. The TUC survey complements the work done at the Modern Record Centre and and the Labour History Archive.
