US Department of Labor

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 Included are a number of the published articles, conference papers, and unpublished monographs which my office has produced over the years.

May Day Exhibit

Labor Arts (laborarts.org) invites you to our latest exhibit: "May Day Posters and Parades," a sampling of images from May Day celebrations, many of them from Union Square in New York City.

We invite comments--there are many images for which there is little information. We also invite H-Labor-Arts members to post information about May Day images on other websites, or to suggest possible sources for additions to the Labor Arts exhibit.
