Georgia State University Library Southern Labor Archives is the only known repository outside of International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Headquarters to have a complete run of the Machinists’ Monthly Journal, the IAMAW’s official journal published from 1889 to 1956, and The Machinist, a newspaper published from 1946 to 1994. Containing images and stories of American and Canadian workers, these publications document activities of the union and its local lodges for over a century. Ultimately, these journals provide a unique snapshot of the union and its members’ changing roles in the workplace and society.
With generous financial support from the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, microfilming and digitizing these journals was completed in 2005. The Southern Labor Archives realized two goals: to create preservation copies of the volumes and to provide searchable online versions of the journal and newspaper for interested readers all over the world.
