The year 1989 marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Southern Labor Archives in Atlanta, Georgia. In 1982, 1984, and 1986 the Southern Labor Archives sponsored the Southern Labor Studies Conference. In 1984 the Conference was held in Arlington, Texas, in cooperation with the Southwestern Labor Studies Association. In 1985 the Southern Labor Archives received support from the Georgia Humanities Council to create a traveling exhibit on the history of textile workers, nationally, regionally, and in two particular mill towns in Georgia. The Southern Labor Archives also helped the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers celebrate its centennial in 1988. The American Library Association honored the Southern Labor Archives in 1988 by giving it the John Sessions Memorial Award for outstanding service to the labor community. The Archives will soon be sponsoring, with the Bill Usery Labor Management Relations Foundation and the U.S. Department of Labor, a major conference on the past, present, and future of the U.S. labor policy.
