Many of these publications are the result of individual research by staff and graduate students who which have been willing to share their source material in the interest of advancing the research of Jamaica’s social history. A significant number of the publications are also of tremendous use to teaching in secondary and tertiary institutions, and accordingly, many purchased each year teachers and students in these institutions. Special mention should be made of publications which cover aspects of the CXC and CAPE History syllabi. The SHP has in its immediate plans to publish Lectures in CAPE History which will provide wide coverage of History topics which form part of the Caribbean Advance Proficiency Examinations in History. This will provide a much needed text for a growing constituency of students in Jamaica and the Caribbean.

The most recent SHP publication, Not for Wages Alone. Eyewitness Summaries of the 1938 Labour Rebellion in Jamaica (2003) edited by Patrick E. Bryan and Karl Watson, is based on 35 oral testimonies concerned with the social and economic conditions of Jamaica at the time of the 1938 labour disturbances, which marked a pivotal period in Jamaica’s social and political history.
