The North West Labour History Journal (England) would like to appeal for contributions to two forthcoming issues. We hope to do special issues on the 1960s (to appear in 2001) and the 1970s (to appear in 2002). We would like to have contributions from researchers and also from those active in the radical and labour movements of those years. Surveys of these decades have largely focused on national movements (ie London) and we in the north west think it is high time that we redressed the balance.
