Records, mainly 1948-1992, of an independent leftist newspaper originally known as the National Guardian and established by James Aronson, Cedric Belfrage and John T. McManus in 1948. After reorganization in 1967 as a worker cooperative and a name change to the Guardian, the paper was a Marxist-Leninist organ. It ceased publication in 1992. The paper's early history is documented primarily by a reference library of publicity materials issued by numerous domestic social action and political organizations, labor unions, and foreign governments and advocacy groups. Among the topics are the civil rights of African Americans; the House Un-American Activities Committee; and numerous individual civil liberties, loyalty oath, and sedition cases. Also included are small quantities of photographic prints and negatives documenting staff and staff events as well as the work of staff photographers, 1951-1967, consisting only of contact sheets.
Portions of this collection are available only on microfilm.
The Guardian newspaper is available on microfilm in the Wisconsin Historical Society Library.
Anna Louise Strong's camera used in China received as part of M94-076 was donated to the University of Washington Department of Special Collections which holds the Strong Papers.
