Resources
The Workers Arts & Heritage Centre Research Service and Support
Once you decides to request our services, WAHC will provide qualified contract staff who will work with you and your members to research the history, conduct interviews, organize displays, and/or produce a booklet or video.
We can work with you to organize your Local's records by sorting the minute books, files, documents, photos, and memorabilia and make sure they are secure, either in your own offices or in a local library or archives. Much of this material might have to be retrieved from the attics and basements of members of the local.
We can work with you to gather the stories of your Local's members by setting up an oral history project to interview workers and preserve their memories for posterity.
We can work with you to prepare a display of your Local's activities and history to be set up in your own hall or another site in the community, like a library, or to be used in local schools or at Union conventions.
We can work with you to write your Local's history by organizing the story of your Local into a small well illustrated book, booklet, video or display.
Contact WAHC to find out more about this service.
