The Tamiment Library at New York University is pleased to announce that it has acquired the library of the Reference Center for Marxist Studies and the Archives of the Communist Party, USA. The library includes extensive monograph and serials holdings, as well as the Communist Party's pamphlet files (1920-date). The bulk dates for the archival collection is from 1950 to the present. Most of the earlier records that had been shipped to the Soviet Union during the early Cold War years are available from IDC publishers (Tamiment holds a copy of this collection: 325 microfilm reels, 1912-1944). The Library has also acquired the Daily Worker photo morgue and the Communist Party's film and video collection.
Since the archives and book collections are largely unprocessed and uncataloged, access will be limited, on a case by case basis, and by appointment only in the near-term.
