Stories of Activism in Sheffield, c.1960-Present

Sheffield has a rich history of civic and social activism. It is a diverse one, with a near countless number of campaigns and community groups, involving people from a variety of social, economic, political, religious, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Behind each campaign banner, leaflet or badge, behind each meeting and letter, and every success and failure, there is a person, or group of people who worked and continue to work for local, national and international causes. Behind each action there are stories and personal accounts of obstacles and struggle, of anger and feelings of injustice. All these experiences and stories are important parts of Sheffield’s history, shaping, often without realising it, the City in which we live. The project, a collaboration between activists and the Department of History at the University of Sheffield, will collect and archive the materials and stories that have made up these experiences.
