Australian historical society

The Australian Society for the Study of Labour History (ASSLH) was founded in 1961 to study 'the working class situation ... and social history in the fullest sense'. Founding members included Asa Briggs, Bob Gollan, Eric Fry, and others. Influenced by the work of E.P. Thompson, and the formation of the British Society for the Study of Labour History, they hoped to make labour history 'a popular pursuit, a study, and a part of ordinary people's lives'. The Society has published the journal Labour History since 1962 (now jointly published with Liverpool University Press), with the intention for it to 'be of immediate practical value to the labour movement'. The Society has branches in the ACT, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria, and Western Australia.
