Online resources
These websites have more information about ownership of energy industries and how Scotland is addressing the challenge of climate change.
Energy industry ownership
This project examines the economic, political and social history of the nationalised British coal industry (1947–1994).
The researchers, Professor Keith Gildart, Professor Andy Perchard, Dr. Ben Curtis and Dr Grace Millar have undertaken extensive archival research and undertaken over 100 oral history interviews. Through a study of eight collieries located in England, Scotland, and Wales, the project explores the rich and complex history of coal, mining communities, the lives of those who worked in the industry and their families.
Based at the University of Wolverhampton and Northumbria University and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
