This body of materials documents the internal and external activities of every hierarchical level of the USWA organization.

In addition to several thousand cubic feet of files, the USWA Archive contains newsletters, publications, posters, photographs, sound recordings, and film. Complementing the Steelworker's official records are the nearly two hundred oral histories of former union officers, staff members, and rank and file activists; numerous manuscript collections documenting the activities of the Steel Workers Organizing Committee, predecessor of the USWA; and the records of several unions that preceded or merged with the USWA.
