The following records were deposited in the Library in September 1976 by Mr. J. H. Shatwell, Branch Secretary, through the Manchester Polytechnic Archive Project Officer.

Administrative / biographical background

The Amalgamated Society of Woodworkers was formed, 1 Jan. 1921, from a union of the General Union of Carpenters and Joiners, (est. 1827), the Amalgamated Union of Cabinetmakers (est. 1833), the Amalgamated Soc. of Carpenters and Joiners (est. 1860) and the Associated Carpenters and Joiners of Scotland (est. 1861). By 1971 the A.S.W. incorporated the Amalgamated Society of Painters and Decorators (est. 1886) and the Amalgamated Union of Building Trade Workers (est. 1921), and so from 1 Jan. 1972 its name was changed to the Union of Construction, Allied Trades and Technicians.

The Levenshulme branch of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners began in 1897, and the branch of the General Union of Operative Carpenters and Joiners began in 1902.
