HistoryMaritime Dispute Records
A Joint ACTU - ASSLH project will identify and preserve as many records as possible arising from the 1997-98 Maritime Dispute.
Too often in the past, significant campaigns in the history of the labour movement have passed without any systematic attempt to preserve the contemporary record of the events. We are determined that it will not be the case in this instance. Accordingly, we have set up a project whereby the ASSLH network will join ACTU affiliates in searching out all relevant records and preserving them for serious research when the dispute is finally over. If you have any material relating to the dispute, or know the location of any, we are keen to hear from you so we can discuss what should be done to identify, describe and preserve those records. Some people may wish to retain records. If so, we'd like to have a record, for historical research purposes, of who's got what. If you are happy to have them put in the archive at the ACTU, we'd be keen to hear form you.

With the help of $50,000 from the Canadian Labour Congress, the museum launched two "social progress" exhibits yesterday -- recreation of Meeting Room No. 10, used by unions during the bloody Winnipeg general strike of 1919, and a companion Web site devoted to Canadian labour history.
