As a party of organization, research and political intelligence, the Conservative Party has always been immensely successful. This collection of thousands of rare pamphlets and leaflets shows the growing sophistication of the party's attempts to communicate with, and influence, the mass electorate. Also included are Executive Committee minutes and reports, election campaign guides and more.

Conservative policy and attitudes to all major political issues and developments since 1868 are clearly charted. Constant concerns such as unemployment, housing, industry, agriculture, foreign affairs and education receive extensive coverage in all parts of this collection. Two World Wars, the rise of the Labour Party, the Depression--all major world events--are seen through the eyes of the Conservative Party machine.
