Data derived from the Bibliography of British and Irish History.

About the Bibliography of British and Irish History (BBIH)

The Bibliography of British and Irish History is an essential tool for the study, research, and teaching of British and Irish history. It is the largest and most comprehensive guide available to published writing on:

  • Local histories – covering British and Irish history from 55 BCE to the present.
  • Global histories – covering Britain and Ireland’s relations overseas including former British colonies and Commonwealth countries.
  • Interdisciplinary and emerging areas within history – such as the histories of social class, emotions and gender and sexual identities.

The Bibliography is a trusted and authoritative resource for historical study, teaching and research produced in collaboration between the Institute of Historical Research (IHR) and Brepols. With new records added three times a year, BBIH provides up-to-date information on over 680,000: 

  • History books, articles, book chapters and edited collections (published from the early 1900s to present).
  • History theses (submitted late 1990s to present).

These records are searchable by a wide range of facets including: title, author, chronology, date and form of publication, historical topic, and geographical region..

Researching labour history in BBIH

The Bibliography contains more than 22,100 publications related to labour history. Topics range from:

  • Specific aspects of labour relations and trade unionism within Britain, Ireland, former colonial and Commonwealth countries.
  • Various aspects of working class lived experiences including occupations, working and social conditions, popular politics and forms of protest, and the history of the Labour Party.

BBIH’s subject tree offers a powerful way of searching by subject because it uses terminology systematically applied to records by BBIH’s editors: your results will not depend on the appearance of words in titles or in keywords provided by authors.
