At the Margins of Capitalism: Useful Histories at the Co-op Archive
Event
Join The Co-operative Heritage Trust and Sites of Fracture Project for a day of conversation and discovery exploring the radical past, present and future of co-operation – from fields and food systems to archives and alternative economies.
This study day explores the role of co-operatives within and beyond capitalism, with a focus on their histories in food production, land, and the natural world. Hosted by the Co-operative Archive and the Sites of Fracture team, it invites discussion on how historical insight can inform today’s co-operative movement and the preservation of its archives.
