There are currently 2 options, though the first is in the process of replacing the second:

1. JSTOR. From 1 January 2011 onwards, Labour History will use JSTOR as its primary online platform.
2. History Cooperative. At present, the History Cooperative is continuing to provide online access to the journal.

The shift to JSTOR will affect subscribers in different ways depending on whether they are individuals or institutions:

Institutional Subscribers

All institutional subscriptions must be organised with JSTOR. Institutions will continue to receive the printed journal and will gain online access via JSTOR’s Current Scholarship Program. For more information, click here. For institutions that have a current subscription, online access is also available (for the time being) via the History Cooperative. See below for details.

Individual Subscribers

Online access to the current and most recent issues of Labour History continues to be available via the History Cooperative. However, you can also gain online access (to all issues, past and present) via JSTOR. To do so, you must create a MyJSTOR account on the JSTOR website. For more information, visit www.jstor.org. For help, email support@jstor.org.

Access via History Cooperative (still available)

Institutional Subscribers

If you are connecting from an institution that currently subscribes to Labour History, you will automatically receive access to full online content. This is enabled through the use of institutional IP number ranges and does not require your personal login. If your institution subscribes to the paper journal but you find that you cannot access the full-text online version from your campus, please ask your librarian to fill out the online registration form which will add their institutional IP numbers to the History Coop’s control system. Librarians will find more information at the History Coop’s FAQ page.

Individual Subscribers

If you are not connecting through a subscriber institution, but you are an individual subscriber to the journal, you can set up a personal account to access the Labour History online collection. Simply register with the History Cooperative by using your subscription ID number, as shown on your journal mailing label. Once you have set up your personal account, you can go straight to the History Coop’s login page.

The subscription ID number is only needed the first time you access the online edition. During your first login or any time thereafter, you can set up a personal login and password for future access. Individual subscribers who have problems or need to know their ID number should contact the Labour History Office.
