HELP NEEDED IN UPDATING Bibliography of the 1926 General Strike

In 2006, Historical Studies in Industrial Relations (HSIR) 21 published ‘The General Strike and Mining Lockout of 1926: A Select Bibliography’, compiled by John McIlroy, Alan Campbell, Keith Laybourn and Quentin Outram.

To mark the one hundredth anniversary of the strike, this is now being updated for publication in HSIR 47 later this year by Dave Lyddon and Quentin Outram.

A special virtual issue of HSIR dealing with the General Strike and mining lockout of 1926. It includes an open access selective biography of the strike.

We are asking users of the SSLH website to notify us of any items missing from both the 2006 bibliography (freely available at the following link) and the attached 2026 provisional update, which fills in some gaps before 2006 and some updates since then.

If you are aware of any missing references, please contact Dave Lyddon (d.lyddon@keele.ac.uk) or Quentin Outram (q.outram@lubs.leeds.ac.uk)

Many thanks.
