Welcome to the Working Class Movement Library.

News Picture The Working Class Movement Library (WCML) is a collection of English language books, periodicals, pamphlets, archives and artefacts, concerned with the activities, expression and enquiries of the labour movement, its allies and its enemies, since the late 1700s.

'From Kitchen Table to Conference Table'
Online exhibition

WCML, together with the Labour History Archive & Study Centre from the People's History Museum, the National Co-operative Archive and Bishopsgate Institute, joined forces to produce an online exhibition to highlight their archive collections as part of Archive Awareness Month 2007.

All four archives have complementary collections relating to women, labour and the left. The online exhibition, 'From Kitchen Table to Conference Table' , follows the progress of women from the private to the public sphere through their politicisation, using a time line and case studies.

To celebrate International Women’s Day
