Journals and Newspapers

The Wirtz Labor Library currently subscribes to over 200 journals, largely in the areas of employment issues, economics and labor. The Library also maintains subscriptions to many local and national newsletters and updates published by a wide variety of trade unions. See the Library Catalog for specific titles.

The Library has a rich historical collection of past issues of trade union publications, statistical publications, and economic journals, many of which are stored in the Library's closed archival collections due to their age and rarity. Arrangements can be made through the Wirtz Labor Library Reference staff to use archival materials on the DOL Library premises. To search these collections, go to the Library Catalog.
