On 13 October we held a workshop aimed particularly at students and academics to talk about the archives of the coal industry in Derbyshire and Warwickshire, catalogued with Wellcome Trust funding. As not everyone who wanted to attend was able to come, we are sharing recordings of the presentations.
Warwickshire County Record Office – Mining the Seams: the National Coal Board and Warwickshire Miners’ Association archives.
Derbyshire Record Office – Mining the Seams: the National Union of Mineworkers Derbyshire Area and National Coal Board archives
Modern Records Centre, University of Warwick – Mining the Past: the National Union of Mineworkers national HQ archive
Dr Ben Curtis, University of Wolverhampton – national perspectives on study of occupational injury, health and disability in the coal industry
