Labor and Labor-Related Organizations, and Cultural Institutions:
Participate in the Labor Archives of Washington’s Regional Records Survey
The Labor Archives of Washington (LAW) extends a warm invitation to all labor and labor-related organizations across the Pacific Northwest. If you possess records that are linked to labor history, civil rights, or social justice organizations and activism, we encourage your participation in the Pacific Northwest Labor Records Survey.
For Labor Unions and Labor-Related Organizations
Participating in this survey will provide LAW with essential insights into the distribution of records within the region. By sharing this information, you help us:
- Identify the locations of these records.
- Understand the various formats these records take, both existing and ongoing.
- Gain insight into your storage conditions, staffing, and other factors related to your records.
For Archives, Libraries, and Cultural Institutions
If you represent an archive, library, or cultural institution, your participation is equally valuable. Sharing information about the labor history records within your collections allows us to:
- Create a comprehensive regional directory of labor historical records.
- Integrate this data into the Society of American Archivists, Labor Archives Section’s “Labor Archives of the United States and Canada: A Directory.”
Participate in the PNW Repository Survey
If you prefer to complete the survey via phone or on paper, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Head of the Labor Archives, Conor Casey, at [email protected] or call 206-685-3976. Your contribution is invaluable in preserving and documenting our labor history.
Thank you for your dedication to preserving our rich labor heritage!
