| Abstract: |
The National Guardian (later known as The Guardian) was a radical leftist weekly newspaper published in New York City between 1948 and
1992. The National Guardian reported on labor, activism, reform, and social movements without particular party
affiliations, advocating for a unified leftist party in the United States. Known for
its independent and investigative journalism, the paper produced significant pieces
on civil rights and the Cold War, and was one of the few publications to print news
sympathetic to Julius and Ethel Rosenberg during their trial and execution, with much
of the paper's reporting coming from William A. Reuben. This collection is comprised
of the photograph files of the National Guardian, consisting of approximately 44,465 8x10 black-and-white photographic prints, along
with some original cartoons and other graphic materials. The materials reflect the
subject matter of the newspaper itself, reporting labor, activism, reform, and social
movements.
