The Center maintains two research collections, a labor law library and a labor history archive. Materials in these collections are for use at the Center only and will not be loaned out. However, a copy machine is available and materials (within reason) may be duplicated there at no cost to the user. To access the labor history archive an appointment must be arranged in advance with Dr. Puette [call 689-2760]. First time or inexperienced users of the labor law library are strongly advised to make an advance appointment as well so that CLEAR staff can instruct the user on the proper use of the indices and files.
