Level of description Series
Extent and medium ofthe unit of description 8 archival boxes of sheet music and textual documents
Name of creator Predominately the Workers’ Music Association (WMA)
Administrative history The Workers’ Music Association was formed in 1936 to coordinate the activity of 44 choirs and 5 orchestras in the London Labour Choral Union and Cooperative. Its mission is to promote music, the composition of music and musical education relating to socialist, labour and workers’ movements. Throughout its history it has published both original and traditional compositions from the workers’ movement and continues to be active today. Throughout its early history it was close to the Communist Party of Great Britain and was instrumental in promoting the music and culture of the Soviet Union through publishing sheet music and essays as well as organising concerts and recitals of Soviet music. Among its key members were founder Alan Bush, John Miller, who collected much of the material in this series, and Hanns Eisler who later composed the national anthem of the GDR.
Scope and content Material includes a significant collection of sheet music published by the Workers’ Music Association along with WMA publications in the form of journals, pamphlets and programmes. There is also a limited selection of correspondence and administrative material produced by or relating to the WMA or WMA members along with some material produced by the London Labour Choral Union which became the WMA in 1936.
System of arrangement Series divided into two files: Papers; Sheet music. Papers contains records originating from, produced, published or collected by the WMA while Sheet music contains sheet music published by and related to the WMA.
Archival History The collection was mostly put together by John Miller who, during his membership of the WMA, served as secretary, treasurer and archivist. It was later sold by Dave Cope from Left on the Shelf to Janey Buchan. Material relating to or produced by the WMA from elsewhere in Janey Buchan’s collection has been added to the series.

Biographical history Janey Buchan (1926 – 2012) began her political career in 1974 as a Labour councillor in Strathclyde Region before becoming the party’s Glasgow MEP in 1979, a post she held until 1994. She was born in Glasgow the daughter of a tram driver father and a domestic servant mother. A member of the Young Communist League in her youth, where she met her future husband and Labour MP Norman, she left the party for Labour in 1956 after CPGB refused to condemn the Soviet invasion of Hungary. With a keen interest in the arts and a variety of political causes, particularly the anti-apartheid campaign, she amassed a large collection of books and papers which she donated to various universities in later life. A portion of her extensive collection formed the basis for the Political Song Centre at Glasgow Caledonian University, with her section of the collection now housed at the University of Glasgow.
Scope and content Series contains material produced by, relating to or collected by Janey Buchan for personal purposes. Includes correspondence, biographical writing, news cuttings and photographs.
