Sara Diamond initiated a number of printed educational resources that arose out of her research at Simon Fraser University into the history of trade unionism and her projects through The Women’s Labour History Project. Diamond’s instructional guides developed for her series Lull Before the Storm and Keeping the Home Fires Burning were developed during a period of high interest in media resources and media literacy.
This is a bibliography of sources for research into the history of women in the B.C. trade union movement. It covers a fifteen year period: 1935-1950. These years were chosen because they represent a time of dramatic changes both in the position of women within production and of the ideology and strength of the organized labour movement in the province.
The material in this bibliography is located in the Lower Mainland area. There is additional primary material in the Public Archives of British Columbia, located in Victoria. Permission is needed to use trade union archives. [From the Introduction]
