THE GEORGE MEANY MEMORIAL ARCHIVES STUDENTS

Labor's history is part of America's history. At the George Meany Memorial Archives, archivists preserve the records of the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO). The AFL-CIO has a long and rich history of commitment to enhancing working people's conditions of work and quality of life. The links below are designed to help you explore why the primary sources found in archives are important to understanding labor history.
