Today, I started a volunteer work placement in the archives of the Irish Labour History Museum. My day job for the next few weeks will be cataloging the archive of the Wexford ITGWU branch (c. 1978 – 1990) along with some Wexford Labour Party material. They were saved by our good friend Conor McCabe from Dublin Opinion just before they were thrown into a skip! Here are some gems from today:
ITGWU Wexford Membership Cards for employees of North Slob Farming Company, 1987.
Back of ITGWU Wexford Membership Cards for employees of North Slob Farming Company, 1987.
Header of letters to Labour Party delgates for the 31st Annual Conference in Cork City, May 1985.
ITGWU sticker, date unknown.
ITGWU ballot paper, date unknown.
Invitation from ITGWU Social Clun to Presentation Dinner Dance (to mark retirement of Tom Carr P.C. Branch Secretary) Talbot Hotel, Year unknown.
