Working Class Movement Library Tour

The Working Class Movement Library is a radical library and archive preserving over 200 years of working class movement and campaigning for change. We were founded in the 1950s and moved to Jubilee House in Salford in 1987 where the library has provided free access to its collection ever since.

The history of the groups, campaigns and individuals who make up our collection at the Working Class Movement Library has a wide range of positions and the Library is committed to ensuring that this range is available for people to explore for themselves. Although respectful debate is encouraged, we will not tolerate sexism, homophobia, racism, transphobia, nor oppressive language or behaviour based on any structural inequality, including disability, socio-economic status, sexuality, age, education, religious affiliation, or gender expression. All who use our space, both the physical Library and its virtual spaces, share responsibility for maintaining it as a safe and welcoming one.
