Hi All Following my recent request for information regarding sources for quarry men, I followed a line of research that led me to an interesting major source that I previously had never heard of and which may be of interest to other listers. The source is the Modern Records Centre at Warwick University which is open to the public (weekdays only). The records that are held are up to a maximum of about 180 years old and cover the following areas: Records of trade unions and related organisations; Records of trade associations, employers’ organisations and related bodies; Motor and related industry records (especially through formal agreement with Rover/British Motor Industry Heritage Trust); Records relating to cycling (the National Cycle Archive); Records of radical British political movements; Records of pressure groups and other organisations concerned with social and penal reform, human rights, disarmament, education and health; Papers of individuals containing significant information on any of these fields. More detail can be found by following the following link: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/library/mrc/ I, and I am sure other listers, would love to hear the experiences of anyone who has visited the Modern Records Centre. Kind regards Roger __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo! Mail. A Smarter Email http://uk.docs.yahoo.com/nowyoucan.html
