Updates to the availability of the AFL-CIO Collection

There are now 80 AFL-CIO finding aids re-opened!

We’ve just completed a new batch of 23 sub-record groups (see list below). There are a few more that we’re working on, including microfilm collections. At this time the microfilm is still under review. We are also working out the best way to retrieve selected published materials from within Hornbake.

PDF versions of the Guide to Collections and each re-opened finding aid are available. Please contact us if there is something you’d like to look at.
