Labor Archives of Washington

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]

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.[3]
