The collection is composed primarily of typed transcripts of meetings, conferences and hearings. Much is arbitration proceedings, consisting of the transcripts between the union and various manufacturer and protective associations. In addition to case transcripts, there are meeting minutes with committees, boards, and union officials and representatives from the manufacturer associations. The collection is unique in that it offers some of the earliest records of the union. It also provides information on the garment industry in the first decades of the twentieth century.
