The Center for Study of Working Class Life is dedicated to exploring the
meaning of class in today’s world. Looking at society through the lens of class
clarifies many important social questions in new ways. We are an
interdisciplinary effort of faculty and staff at the State University of New York
at Stony Brook, founded in November, 1999.
A national library and archive of the history of the radical and labour movement in Britain from the 1790s
to the present day. The collection also has substantial international holdings, including the USA.
We are an independent Trust with two staff members and many volunteers giving
their own time to work on cataloguing, events, publicity and much else.
We welcome researchers, readers, visitors and, of course, donations of
fresh archive material
