The Social History Curators Group, or, The Expanding Campaign to effect Greater and More Constructive Grass Roots Care of the Heritage of the British Folk: A Review Article

Abstract

Since the early 1970s, there has been functioning in the United Kingdom/ British Isles a quietly effective Social History Curators Group - one with a remarkably lively journal and an Annual Conference - each, alike, changing the profession quite dramatically. The now vital role of women in this field is notable, as is their different form of emphasis on collecting materials and on imaginative research projects.
