Labor archives are more than collections of trade union records. They also contain the stories of campaigns articulating equality in employment as a human right, charting the intersections between labor rights and civil, women’s, and LGBTQ rights struggles. This panel explores how a broader definition of "labor archives" encompassing social justice influences our work. Case examples examine how employing "labor" as a concept that traverses a broad range of social movements creates relationships with new audiences of stakeholders.​
