The People's Papers: Revisiting 1970s Manchester

This film documents a lively, participatory event exploring Greater Manchester’s rich legacy of 1970s activist community newspapers and print culture, with lots of contributions from the audience. Filming by Jack Clarke (@clarkeofsalford). The evening looked at how alternative and community newspapers from the 1970s captured everyday issues, local groups, places, events and organising efforts across Greater Manchester, despite many of these titles having little or no online presence today. As part of the People’s Papers research project with the Working Class Movement Library, PhD researcher Arielle Lawson (@peoplespapers) gave an introduction to her work in the archives, followed by a presentation from Bob Dickinson (author of Imprinting the Sticks) and reflections from others who were directly involved in this publishing and activism. The event formed part of the ongoing People’s Papers research project, which focuses on the Working Class Movement Library’s collection of grassroots newspapers from 1970s Greater Manchester.

This event was co-hosted by Manchester Histories, the Working Class Movement Library and the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah RACE Centre, and was supported by the Manchester Urban Institute’s Cities, Politics and Economies research group, the University of Manchester’s Library & Archive Studies Programme, and the Institute for Cultural Practices.
