We have good links with Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums, Northern Stage, the Tyneside Irish Centre and South Tyneside Council.

We have strong ties to other research groups and networks including the Centre for Nineteenth Century Studies at Durham University and the Gender Research Group at Newcastle University.

We network with professional associations, including the Society for the Study of Labour History, International Conference of Labour and Social History, the Società Italiana di Storia del Lavoro, the European Labour History Network (ELHN), Irish Centre for the History of Labour and Class (ICHLC), Amber, and the Annual Chartism Day Conference which took place in Newcastle in 2019.
