Marx Memorial Library (MML)

Description

The Marx Memorial Library & Workers' School was founded in 1933 with the aim of advancing education, knowledge and learning in all aspects of the science of Marxism, the history of socialism and the working class movement. The library is home to a collection of published and archival sources on related subjects including trade unionism, peace and solidarity movements and the Spanish Civil War, and its reading room is open to researchers by appointment; it achieved Archive Service Accreditation in 2025. Its education programme, online and onsite, examines subjects ranging from Marxist political economy to socialist art, and it publishes the journal Theory & Struggle. The library is a charity based in a historic building in Clerkenwell; in 2025 it began a collaborative doctoral project on the Wapping Post with Brunel University and, as a member of the foundational alliance of the Centre for People's Justice, contributed to that Centre's new interdisciplinary project.
