The Advancing Workers' Rights in the American South grant project supported the digitization of a substantial amount of archival material from the AFL-CIO Civil Rights Department - over 90,000 pages of records, or about 54 linear feet. These records, which represent about 30% of all Civil Rights Department Records housed in SCUA, provide unique insights into the work of the department. By looking at the digitized materials as one big dataset, we can take a birds-eye view of the content and begin to observe some trends in the data that might serve as a springboard for future research. Trends visible in the charts, are then highlighted in selected digitized folders linked to our Digital Collections.
