Introduction

Hull History Centre holds over 2000 collections which cover a huge range of subjects. Finding your way through this to identify material that interests you can be daunting.

The following is a guide to materials held at Hull History Centre on the subject of Politicians and Political Parties. The guide is intended to aid the researcher in the identification of archival collections for use in research projects, dissertations and theses.

Entries in this guide provide brief summaries of individual collection titles, covering dates, and content. More detailed descriptions of content can be found on the History Centre’s online catalogue, where you can also download PDF versions of individual catalogues. The online catalogue can be accessed at catalogue.historycentrecatalogue.org.uk.

Materials listed in this guide are not exhaustive and so you should also use the History Centre’s online catalogue to search for terms specific to your research topic. The History Centre’s website contains further guides to our collections which might also be of use to researchers looking to identify resources. The website can be accessed at www.hullhistorycentre.org.uk.

Should you require any further advice, this guide has been prepared by the Hull University Archives team who are happy to help in any way they can. Questions should be directed to HUA staff at [email protected] by marking enquiries ‘FAO HUA Archives Staff’ in the subject line. Hints and Tips

In addition to the below collections, there may be other material relating to politicians and political parties amongst the holdings of Hull History Centre. You can identify this material by using the online catalogue (link above). Try key words such as an individual’s name, the name of a party, political positions such as ‘Communist’, ‘Conservative’, ‘Labour’, ‘Socialist’ etc. Searches such as these might turn up individual items such as letters, reports, newspaper articles etc. hidden within seemingly unrelated collections.
