The Labor Archives of Washington is a special collection at the University of Washington Libraries dedicated to preserving documents from the labor movement in Washington state.[1][2]
Background[edit]
The Labor Archives were founded by Conor Casey in 2010 funded by a $250,000 fundraising campaign run by the Washington State Labor Council and a $150,000 matching grant from the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.[3][2]
The Labor Archives won the John Sessions Memorial Award in 2013 and 2021.[3] The 2021 award citation commended the Archives for its Oral History Project, “Working in the Time of COVID19,” that was a collaboration with unions, faculty, and regional labor history organizations.[4]
