Glasgow, Kentucky, 1960

The predominant theme of the photograph collection is union business, mainly exemplified by individuals seated around tables for meetings. There are group photos at meetings, conferences, and dinners, with individuals either sitting at tables or standing, and people at podiums. There are also numerous panoramic photographs of various ILGWU conventions with the delegates from the Ohio- Kentucky Region. The images also help to illustrate events of the union at the local level, with numerous parties for holidays and retirement dinners, as well as members participating in classes offered by the various locals. Several of the photographs are identified by strike, meeting or city or local, but the majority of the images remain unidentified, these are mainly of individuals or an unknown meeting or conference. Some of the photos appear to have been used in publications for the region. The collection contains different formats, such as prints and snapshots, 35mm negatives and contact sheets.
