Trade union records

The following source list was originally available only on paper in one of the West Yorkshire Archive Service offices. It may have been compiled many years ago and could be out of date. It was designed to act as a signpost to records of interest on a particular historical subject, but may relate only to one West Yorkshire district, or be an incomplete list of sources available.

Trade union records at West Yorkshire Archive Service

The list below details trade union collections held by WYAS.

In addition to those listed below the Archive Service holds records which were not created by unions but which may relate to trade unionism or may contain references to trade unions. For example collections of political parties, particularly the Labour Party or the personal papers of men and women associated with trade unions such as (WYL1598) D C Dews, personal papers.

The Service also holds the records of trades councils. Their role is to support unions and raise the profile of unions. Associations which look after members of a particular trade, which predate trade unions per se, such as guilds and friendly societies may also be relevant to research on trade unionism.
