The Wirtz Labor Library of the U.S. Department of Labor has just launched it's Wirtz Labor Digital Library!

This Digital Archive collection is intended to bring the diversity of
the Wirtz Labor Library's collections to those not able to reach the
library in person. The collection includes: U.S. Department of Labor
publications, trade union and labor history materials, labor leaders'
biographies, statistical abstracts and more. The Digital Library includes features that allow users to search or browse the Digital
Archive collection. For more information on the Digital Library and its
collections view the User's Guide, Conditions of Use statement, and
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

We hope this will be a valuable resource for you and your libraries.
Currently we have uploaded only approximately 45 titles but have
digitized over 400. We are working to mount these additional titles and
they should be available shortly. This will be an ongoing program so
eventually it should be a resource for those interested in the targeted
issues.

Please access this web page through our home page. In the Yellow Find it box, click on Wirtz Labor Digital Library.


This resource, and many others, can be found on the Library's Government Information Page.
