Abstract: |
The collection contains some 1,351 titles to date (June 2008). They were published by international and local labor unions
in the United States and Canada, radical political parties (Anarchist, Communist, Maoist, Socialist, Trotskyist), the New
Left, and by organizations representing civil rights movements (African-Americans, prisoners, etc.), peace movements, protest
against the war in Vietnam (including titles published by American soldiers), activity in support of national liberation movements,
student and youth activism, the counterculture, feminism and gay liberation, and other activism. While most of the titles
are from the U.S., and of these about one fourth are from New York State, there are also some foreign titles, most from Western
Europe, primarily Great Britain, France, Italy and Spain. The holdings continue to grow through donations and subscriptions.
While the majority of the titles lack catalog records in BobCat, NYU's electronic library catalog, retrospective cataloging
is taking place. An unpublished guide available in the library shows holdings information for each title.

Historical/Biographical Note
The Tamiment Library's collection of newspapers from labor and activist organizations traces its origins to the library of
the Rand School of Social Science, established in 1906. Located just off Union Square in New York City, the Rand School was
a workers education institution supported by the Socialist Party of New York, the garment trades unions, the Workman's Circle,
and the Jewish Forward Association. The Rand School taught courses in economics, economic history, U.S. history, literature,
socialist theory, and labor-management relations. In the mid-1920s the Rand School established a Trade Union Institute to
train people interested in careers in trade union organizing and administration. The school also sponsored a vast array of
cultural programs: theatre groups, poetry readings, and a workers chorus.
The Rand School's library, which was renamed the Meyer London Memorial Library in 1926, after the Socialist Congressman from
Manhattan's Lower East Side, always played an important role in the school. By the 1930s it had one of the finest collections
New York City documenting the history of labor and the left. In addition to the book collections many of the unions and progressive
organizations associated with the school placed copies of their newspapers, journals, newsletters, leaflets, broadsides, and
ephemeral pamphlet literature with the Library. By the end of World War II the Library had a large and growing collection
of both current and historical newspapers. However, by the early 1950s the school was in financial trouble and it closed in
1956. For the next seven years the Meyer London Library was maintained with a subsidy from the Tamiment Institute, the educational
arm of Camp Tamiment, a socialist summer camp in Pennsylvania's Pocono mountains.
In 1963 the Library was given to New York University. Under NYU administration the Tamiment Library grew rapidly, and today
it has nearly 75,000 monograph volumes, a serial collection with nearly 8,500 titles, a printed ephemera collection of nearly
a million items, and 15,000 linear feet of archives, including personal papers, labor union records, photographs, film, graphics,
and oral histories. The newspapers are part of the Library's serial collection. The holdings continue to grow through current
subscriptions and donations of historical material.
