With the triggering of Article 50, here is an opportunity to compare the 1975 and 2016 EU referendum campaigns. Launched this week as part of the LSE Digital library the Brexit collection which has digitised pamphlets from 1975 and 2016 allowing you to directly compare content, style and rhetoric. You can sort by title, subject or affiliation.
Find out what a no vote leaflet in 1975 looked like (from the London Co-op) and in 2016.
Some other Web archives of the 2016 referendum include:
- the UK web archive preserved websites search the collections to find mentions.
- A dedicated collection is the UK European Union Membership Referendum webarchive , from the UCLA Library which has 46 important “Remain” and “Leave” websites, ranging from environmental and academic grassroots organizations to trade unions and business groups. Also included are the main official websites about the referendum by the United Kingdom government.
