A Year of Workers’ Stories
Over the past twelve months the Workers’ Stories Project has collected and published the everyday experiences of workers across Scotland. The project continues to define work in its broadest terms and aims to capture the voices of those less often heard. Whether you are working from home, out of work, looking for work, being laid off, working in dangerous conditions, or doing much of the essential care work that so often goes unpaid and unacknowledged, the project wants to share your story. It wants t to hear directly from workers themselves with the aim of building a historical archive of workers’ experiences which might otherwise go unrecorded, and which will form part of the permanent collection at the National Library of Scotland for future generations.
