In 1967 the Amalgamated Union of Foundry Workers merged with the Amalgamated Engineering Union and became the foundry section of the Amalgamated Union of Engineering and Foundry Workers. After further mergers with the Constructional Engineering Union and the Draughtsmen and Allied Technicians' Association in 1970 it became the foundry section of the Amalgamated Union of Engineering Workers. Reference: H.J. Fyrth and H. Collins, 'The foundry workers, a trade union history (Manchester, 1959).

The reference codes of these records were determined by a superseded catalogue arrangement. The codes are therefore not necessarily in order in the catalogue.

There are no restrictions on access to these records.
