This bibliography, co-sponsored by the Labor and Working Class History Association (LAWCHA) and the Tamiment Library and Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives, NYU, is the successor to the annual bibliography that appeared in the journal Labor History, from 1968-2006.
The Bibliography enumerates the scholarly literature of United States labor and working class history in multidisciplinary perspective. Each section is subdivided into monographs, journal articles, and dissertations. Informational annotations are provided where a work's title does not convey essential information, i.e. chronological or geographical coverage, personal or corporate names, topic, or
relevance.
Please note that italics formatting in bibliography entries was lost when the document was converted from MS Word to html. A pdf version of the bibliography with full formatting is available here.
