description: The first of two parallel volumes resulting from a project of the British Library of Political and Economic Science to locate those non-governmental archives that provide the essential source material for contemporary historians. The present volume provides a guide to the records of some 1,000 organizations, institutions, and societies active and influential in British politics and public life after 1945. They range from the major archives of the political parties, trade unions, and employers' organizations, to the lesser-known records of pressure groups which have been active in a multitude of causes.
