In the late 1990s, The New York Labor History Association produced "The History of Labor in New York State", a "poster map of the most important events in labor history from 1600 to present-day." Over 350 events in the labor history of New York State are marked on the map, including numerous events relating to slavery, abolition, and civil rights. The maps are available from: Map Committee, NYLHA, Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives, Bobst Library, New York University, 70 Washington Square South, New York, New York 10012. The New York State AFL-CIO website provides additional ordering information.
