Labour History Review PDF Print E-mail

Since 1960 Labour History Review has explored the working lives and politics of ‘ordinary’ people. It has played a key role in redefining social and political history. Labour History Review publishes up to 12 fully-refereed articles in its three issues each year. The emphasis is on British labour history, though comparative and international studies are not neglected. The journal welcomes contributions which dig deeper within the traditional subject matter of labour history, but we are also keen to expand the parameters of the subject and the range of approaches taken to it. We are particularly interested in articles which engage with issues of gender and ethnicity or race, as well as class.

Labour History Review also features book reviews (essays and short notices) and a new section which reviews museums, heritage ‘experiences’ and exhibitions from the standpoint of the labour historian. There is also an annual bibliography giving an overview of the year’s publications in labour history, the year’s labour history theses and dissertations and a comprehensive listing of relevant archival accessions.

In subscribing to the journal, you automatically become a member of the Society for the Study of Labour History, a charity which promotes its subject by such means as conferences and campaigns on major issues as well as running Labour History Review. In 2009 we published a special issue on Chartism and another on transnational history. In 2010, we have a exciting line-up to celebrate our 50th anniversary, including a supplement, Making Labour History: Labour History Review Fiftieth Anniversary Supplement, which is free to members of the society.

Labour History Review welcomes contributions in any area of labour history. The editors are particularly interested in articles which engage with issues of gender and ethnicity or race, as well as class, and which attempt to broaden the traditional subject matter of labour history. Informal approaches on proposed articles are welcomed. Those wishing to have articles considered for publication should send them (electronically) to:

Dr Joan Allen or Dr Matt Perry
