Welcome
to Llafur: The Welsh People’s History Society.
Llafur brings
together people
from all walks of life with a common interest in Welsh people’s
history. We
organise a wide range of events looking at aspects of our history and
publish
the journal Llafur.
Llafur believes
that history does
not just inform us of the past, but that it can also illuminate our
understanding of the present, and to help shape our future. That's why
many
Llafur events consider issues that, even though rooted in the past,
have
relevance for our lives today.
Our journal
publishes articles on
all aspects of the history of the Welsh people. We are proud of our
record in
modern labour history and of being the principal journal in which work
in
women’s history has been published in Wales. However, we are always
keen to
extend our boundaries into new periods and new approaches.
Llafur was
established in 1970,
and perhaps it is a sign of out maturity (and also of the contribution
that we
have made, and are continuing to make) that people are now undertaking
historical studies of us!
As well as still
aspiring to help
bring change through our understanding of history, it is a place for
enjoyment
and sharing as well as learning.
We invite you to
join us, to read
our journal and to come to our events.
