Private Virtual Event for Friends and Volunteers: The Workers Circle Friendly Society – analysing membership in the late 1960s/early 1970s
Earlier this year the museum discovered a set of over 200 membership cards relating to The Workers Circle Friendly Society in the mid-20th century. Work began to catalogue and analyse the information held within the cards; by gathering together this data into a simplified spreadsheet, we are now able to discover the ages, occupations, family sizes and social situations of society members during this time.
