Black text on white background as follows: Trade Union History Project News Bulletin No. 1 PO Box 12-312 Wellington October 1987 How it Began Despite the work of Labour historians like Bert Roth, hte exiserence of a trade union library, the Dan Long library, and some histories and films commissioned by unions, a number of people still feel that a lot of union material is being neglected. Not only was much of it unrecorded at the time, but records of the past are not being preserved the death of old activists, with their memories unrecorded, and neglect and loss of written and visual records mean the movement is losing its own history. The fact that Jock Barnes is elderly and ill seemed to make a film on hte watersiders Union 1946-51 a priority. A number of unionists, after several discussions, brought prposals to a specially called meeting.
