The Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) spawned many different committees throughout its turbulent lifetime. This collection contains the papers of numerous different committees established to advise the Executive Committee on party policy and ongoing developments in their respective fields. The material is varied in scope and demonstrates the totality of the CPGB’s ambitions in developing policy for their political programme.
The collection includes material from the following committees and departments; the Parliamentary Department; the Unemployment Committee; the Health Advisory Committee; the Jewish Committee; the West Indies Committee; the Science and Technology Sub-Committee; as well as many more.
The collection is accompanied by three contextual essays written by Professor Kevin Morgan.
