THE Marx Memorial Library is the proud custodian of a complete archive of the Daily Worker / Morning Star newspaper dating back to the first issue in January 1930.
For decades copies of the paper have been carefully stowed away in our basement, bound in large volumes of three to four months and embossed with gold lettering.
This treasure trove is one of our most often used archives. Activists, students, family historians, authors and many more visit our reading room to look at this paper of record of the British labour movement.
