May is Labor History Month, and since the Haymarket Riot in Chicago in 1886, May 1 has held a special significance for the American Labor movement.

To assist those archives with labor history collections celebrate the month, and promote their programs, we have developed a package of press releases and promotion ideas. We have also provided a list of events at a number of labor archives around the nation. This material can be found at [url]http://www.archivists.org/saagroups/labor/Index.asp[/url].
