The Rhode Island Labor History Society has a wealth of original source material in the form of newspapers and early publications on labor history. This material dates throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and documents the rise and fall of the labor movement throughout its turbulent journey.

| The RILHS has deposited many of its documents at the Rhode Island Historical Society's Library. A number of unions such as the meat cutters, barbers, railroad trainmen, bus drivers, and printers joined several labor activists like Ed Brown and Larry Spitz in stocking the shelves with important organizational and personal papers, which are now kept for public use. For those looking for information online, we are looking for new ways to make it available. |
