- The output results from a 6-year research process involving archival research, fieldwork interviews and primary source investigation. The personal and ministerial Crosland archive at LSE was analysed, totalling 36 boxes of material. Archives of key associates (Hugh Gaitskell (UCL) and Hugh Dalton (LSE)) were examined, as were party committee papers/documents in the Museum of Labour History (Manchester). 24 long-form semi-structured interviews were carried out with actors from Crosland’s era, several now retired and difficult to access, alongside contemporary political figures. A large volume of party documents, programmatic statements, manifestos, diaries, memoirs and newspaper articles were inspected to complete the study.
