This is to let H-Laborites know about my redesigned and greatly expanded Department of Labor history website that "rolled out" on May 6, 2002. "History@DOL" (for short) incorporates virtually everything from my previous history page and adds a lot of new material. The most important features of the site are research on DOL agencies and issues, and selected notable DOL documents. Included are a number of the published articles, conference papers, and unpublished monographs which my office has produced over the years.
