Pamphlets and other items

There are approximately 60,000 pamphlets and additional reports, contracts, and other items from the Industrial Relations collection on a wide range of subjects.  The pamphlets were published from the 1920s to 1989; other items were published from the 1920s to the early 1990s. All have been cataloged and are housed in ReCAP, the university's off-campus storage facility.  Search the Catalog by entering IR as call number(browse).
