Welcome to one of the most unusual libraries in the world. Discover the stories of working people’s struggles to be heard. Explore the past, change the future… The Working Class Movement Library is one of the North West’s hidden gems of historical research. Working people have always struggled to get their voices heard. The Working Class Movement Library records over 200 years of organising and campaigning by ordinary men and women. Our collection provides a rich insight into working people’s daily lives as well as their thoughts, hopes, fears and the roles they played in the significant events of their time. The Trustees wish to confirm their determination to ensure the long-term future and continuing development of the Library in accordance with its values and principles and to spread the knowledge of working class struggle as an instrument of change.
