Labour Research Department Archive Labour Research Department Archive Part 1 – Institutional Papers Compiled by Imogene Mackay for the TUC Library Collections, London Metropolitan University, 2008 i IDENTITY STATEMENT Reference code(s): GB 1924 LRD Held at: London Metropolitan University: Trades Union Congress Library Collections Title: Labour Research Department Date(s): 1912-1980 Level of description: Fonds Extent: c200 boxes Name of creator(s): Labour Research Department CONTEXT Administrative/Biographical history The Labour Research Department had its initial origins in the Fabian Society’s Enquiry into the Control of Industry Committee founded in 1912. In 1913 the Committee took on the form of the Fabian Research Department led by figures including Beatrice and Sidney Webb, George Bernard Shaw and Robin Page Arnot. Originally the department took the form of a forum for competing theories of industrial organisation but then took on the function of providing a service for trade unions by collecting information for them rather than about them and in 1918 its membership was broadened outside of the Fabian Society and became the Labour Research Department. Many influential figures were involved in the Labour Research Department including Barbara Drake, Joseph Rowntree, Leonard Woolf, Archibald Fenner Brockway, Emile Burns, Harry Politt and Noreen Branson. The Labour Research Department carried out investigations into many of the major issues affecting Britain and the wider world, including women, trade unions and strikes, imperialism, the rise of Fascism and the outbreak of war, housing, racism and education. The results of these investigations were often published in their journals, which included Labour Research, Fact Service and Bargaining Report. The Department were one of the chief critics of the Fascist Movement and published a number of publications including Who Backs Mosley? which exposed the Blackshirt Movement and They Helped Hitler which highlighted how the Chamberlain government had supposedly been involved in German rearmament. ii CONTENT Scope and content/abstract: This collection consists of material relating to the principle functions of the Labour Research Department.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • The Women of Red Clydeside the Women of Red Clydeside
    THE WOMEN OF RED CLYDESIDE THE WOMEN OF RED CLYDESIDE: WOMEN MUNITIONS WORKERS IN THE WEST OF SCOTLAND DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR By MYRA BAILLIE, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School ofGraduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment ofthe Requirements for the Degree Doctor ofPhilosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Myra Baillie, September 2002 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2002) McMaster University (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Women ofRed Clydeside: Women Munitions Workers in the West ofScotland during the First World War. AUTHOR: Myra Baillie, B.A., M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor R.A. Rempel NUMBER OF PAGES: x,320 11 ABSTRACT During World War One, the Clydeside region became one ofthe most important centres ofwar production in Britain. It also had one ofthe most volatile male workforces, earning it the reputation 'Red' Clydeside. Previous historical accounts have focussed on the skilled workers, debating the extent to which they were red-hot revolutionaries or narrow craft conservatives. To date, there has been no study ofthe region's large, capable, hard-working female workforce. This thesis traces the experience ofthe tens ofthousands ofwomen employed in the Clydeside munitions industry, paying particular attention to the working conditions in local factories. This thesis contributes to the long-standing historiographical arguments over the nature ofRed Clydeside by offering a new view ofthe dilution crisis which stands 11t the epicentre ofthe debate. It finds more cooperation between male and female munitions workers than has previously been recognized, and suggests that class confrontation, not craft conservatism, was at the root ofthe deportation ofthe shop steward leaders in March 1916.

    The Economic Development of Sheffield and the Growth of the Town cl740-cl820 Neville Flavell PhD The Division of Adult Continuing Education University of Sheffield February 1996 Volume Two PART TWO THE GROWTH OF THE TOWN <2 6 ?- ti.«» *• 3 ^ 268 CHAPTER 14 EXPANSION FROM 1736 IGOSLING) TO 1771 (FAIRBANKS THE TOWN IN 1736 Sheffield in Gosling's 1736 plan was small and relatively compact. Apart from a few dozen houses across the River Dun at Bridgehouses and in the Wicker, and a similar number at Parkhill, the whole of the built-up area was within a 600 yard radius centred on the Old Church.1 Within that brief radius the most northerly development was that at Bower Lane (Gibraltar), and only a limited incursion had been made hitherto into Colson Crofts (the fields between West Bar and the river). On the western and north-western edges there had been development along Hollis Croft and White Croft, and to a lesser degree along Pea Croft and Lambert Knoll (Scotland). To the south-west the building on the western side of Coalpit Lane was over the boundary in Ecclesall, but still a recognisable part of the town.2 To the south the gardens and any buildings were largely confined by the Park wall which kept Alsop Fields free of dwellings except for the ingress along the northern part of Pond Lane. The Rivers Dun and Sheaf formed a natural barrier on the east and north-east, and the low-lying Ponds area to the south-east was not ideal for house construction.
