Despite widespread interest in the trade union movement and its history it has never been easy to trace the development of individual unions especially those now defunct or where name changes or mergers have confused the trail. In this respect the standard histories and industrial studies tend to stimulate curiosity rather than satisfy it. When was a union founded? When did it merge or dissolve itself or simply disappear? What records survive and where can further details of its history be found? These are the kinds of question the Directory sets out to answer.
