Forty years on from the start of the 1984-85 miners’ strike, a selection of material from the National Union of Mineworkers’ archive has gone online.

Digitised and published by the Modern Records Centre at the University of Warwick, the selection runs to 95 leaflets, bulletins and other items of ephemera. The collection’s emphasis is on the NUM at local and national level, and the support groups that were formed at community level.

The Modern Records Centre is now home to the NUM archive, and hopes to expand the digitised collection over the next couple of years to include further material once it has been fully catalogued.

See the newly digitised miners’ strike material on the MRC website.
