About Economic and Social History Group - People and their Industry

We would appreciate posts of any images recording aspects of social and/or economic history.

People and their Industry.
Not warriors and battles...

If the world is a global village, this type of history is a global city: it is pretty much a shared experience, and will benefit from comparison across cultures and boundaries.

Unless the photograph is self-explanatory (and many will be), please include a useful brief description in the title or commentary field.

Links. We want to list the very best and most relevant groups. If you feel a further listing would be helpful to other users, please contact the administrators, though additions are at their discretion.

We are providing links to individual collections of social and economic history that we find particularly interesting within the relevent topic(s). You may of course post your own links here.

Hopefully, this site will be become a flickring record of the past... of interest to us and of use to those in education.

Please feel free to comment on the images in the pool.

Tip. It is entirely down to you, but as the pool grows in size it would be useful if you tagged your posts with "ecsochistory" (a term students use and also the address of this site on flickr). This would simply make the net more navigable. If you are allowing contacts to add tags in your preferences, why not tag a few of your contacts when viewing them?

You are strongly encouraged to invite posts from other people and to link back and help promote this group, by copying and pasting the following text wherever you like (in your comments and forums, for example):
