Bristol Miners Support Campaign Archive

40 years on from the miners’ strike, there have been many events to mark its significance and to remind the labour movement of the importance of solidarity in the long fight for social and economic justice. The Bristol Radical History Group are collecting documents and other materials relating to the Bristol Miners Support Campaign. We are now appealing to you for any contributions you can add to this collection, which will be deposited in Bristol Archives in B Bond Warehouse (Create Centre). It will be open to the public and to future historians.

Appeal

Please turn out your drawers and cupboards for anything you might still have, or that has come to you from older members of your family. If you find anything that you would like to add to the Bristol Miners Support Campaign Archive please get in touch.
