United Mine Workers of America Inventory
Collection
Collection Number: A&M 2982
Preliminary inventory of the archives of the United Mine Workers of America conducted circa 1985. Inventory was conducted by the West Virginia Collection at the request of the UMWA, in order to help the labor organization prepare to send the materials to an archival repository. Collection contains a three-page explanation of the inventory process and the twenty-seven page inventory. Inventory notes types of materials (correspondence, subject files, financial reports, meeting minutes, circulars, legal files, etc.), date span for each series, linear feet for each series, and a brief description of the content of the materials. It appears that some material related to the UMWA Health and Retirement Funds was donated to the West Virginia Collection and is now part of A&M 2769, UMWA Health and Retirement Funds Archive. Other series from this collection appear to be located at the Pennsylvania State University Special Collections Library.

The United Mine Workers of American (UMWA) was founded in Columbus, Ohio in 1890 by the merger of Knights of Labor Trade Assembly No. 135 and the National Progressive Union of Miners and Mine Laborers. It is a labor organization most well-known for representing coal miners, but the union also represents health care workers, truck drivers, manufacturing workers and public employees.
