Labour Heritage publishes a bulletin three times a year, which is distributed to the membership. The bulletin contains full reports of Labour Heritage events and activities. Articles include original research by members of Labour Heritage on aspects of Labour history, with a focus on local history.

 Recent articles include a survey of the Battersea Socialist Women’s Circle, based on its minute books, the engineers’ strike of 1897 in Chiswick, based on local newspaper reports and the role of  William Miller in the post-war reconstruction of  Plymouth. Oral history is also important as a basis for local histories. Other articles include book reviews of recently published works, including local histories and obituaries of both national and local Labour movement figures. This is to illustrate the role of activists in the history of the Labour movement .
