Organizers' Weekly Reports, 1956-1973
Scope and Content Note: These forms provide a summary of the activities and expenses of each organizer. The files represent a qualitative sample of about 30 per cent of the original volume of reports. For the years 1956-1967 the Society received all the organizers' reports. For 1968-1973 we received only a sample chosen by the TWUA staff. All these records are an addition to similar reports covering the years 1953-1955 which are contained in the first installment of the collection. The 1953-1955 records also are a qualitative sample chosen by the TWUA staff. To sample the 1968-1973 reports the supervising archivist drew up lists of the organizers covered in the 1957, 1962, and 1965 files. These lists were compared with the lists for the 1953-1955 and 1968-1973 reports. All 1956-1967 files for every individual who appeared on at least three of the five lists were then selected for preservation. In addition we also selected reports of a few individuals who went on to attain important positions within the union. By following this technique it was felt that we were preserving reports from the long term organizers, and that these would reflect the more significant organizing campaigns.
