The TUC Library is the major research library for the study of all aspects of
trade unions and collective bargaining with both historical and contemporary
coverage. The emphasis is on Britain, but many other countries are
represented, especially Europe and the Commonwealth.
The TUC Library was established in 1922 and was based on the integrated
collections of the TUC Parliamentary Committee, the Labour Party Information
Bureau, and the Womens Trade Union League. It was run as a joint library with
the Labour Party until the TUC moved to Congress House in 1956. The
collection was developed for the use of the TUC and affiliated unions, but its
specialisation has led to its parallel development as a major research library in
the social sciences. In September 1996, the Collections moved to their new
home in the London Metropolitan University Holloway Road library.
