This special issue was prompted by the 2023 ASSLH conference. Organisers chose their theme as “(Re)Sources: Historical Inquiry and Labour History Archives” amid the urgent need for more funding support and the establishment of new labour history archives. The articles contained here raise important issues of ethics, demonstrate a diversity of workers, a mix of approaches and methods, a critical engagement with sources, and techniques of analysis that have long been the historians’ way of proceeding. They only scrape the surface of possibilities but presented here they demonstrate some of the ways labour history is moving into the future.
