Trade unions

The Macmillan Brown Library is Canterbury’s single largest repository of Trade Union Archives. We hold minute books, correspondence and financial papers from a variety of Trade Unions dating back to the 19th century. This category is a significant resource for all those interested in researching New Zealand industrial relations. Donors within this group include:

  • The New Zealand Watersiders Union
  • The Council of Trade Unions
  • The Federation of Labour
