Scope and Content

This small collection contains three bound xerox prints of the Larkhall Miners Association Minute Books and a foolscap notebook containing some mine inspection notes dated from 1906. The collection was purchased by the Library in 1963/64. The rest of the purchased original collection consists of publications that have either been added to the Library, specifically the Trade Union collection, or sold after purchase.
