THIS year marks 90 years since the foundation of the Marx Memorial Library and Workers School (MML), a unique socialist library, research and education centre based in London’s historic Clerkenwell.
The MML was established in 1933 by trade unionists, socialists and communists in reaction to the rise of fascism in Europe, commemorating the anniversary of Marx’s death in 1883.
Our internationally significant archive collections on socialist history — including Hands off Russia campaigns, the Spanish civil war and the 1984-5 miners’ strike — still inspire and inform today.
