For those involved in researching the history of public sector labor relations in New York State, the M. E. Grenander Department of Special Collections at State University at Albany offers a collection of materials concerning the Civil Service Employees Association, Inc., American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees Local 1000, on microfilm dating back to 1918.

All microfilm items in the manuscript group (with the exception of the Meeting Transcripts which were microfilmed by CSEA) were lent to the University Libraries, M.E. Grenander Department Special Collections and Archives, by the Civil Service Employees Association, Inc. (CSEA), AFSCME Local 1000, and subsequently microfilmed as a part of the Harry Van Arsdale, Jr., Labor History Project.

The original documents supplied by CSEA were returned to it after they were microfilmed. All other records were donated to the University Libraries between 2005 and 2010.

The records were compiled by La Nina M. Clayton and revised by Sarah Cross, Devin Lander and Melissa McMullen. An index of the materials available is posted on the Internet at http://library.albany.edu/speccoll/findaids/apap015.htm

The library is located at 1400 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York 12222. For information concerning the collection, call the library staff at 518 - 437-3935
