2,190 labor films. 1,918 labor quotes. 1,445 labor-history entries. 437 labor songs. They’re all just a click away in the Labor Heritage Foundation’s brand-new Labor Arts & Culture Database.
Completely searchable and organized with filters and thematic tags, the database makes it easy to explore the stories, struggles and creative work of working people. Search for a particular person, union, movement or historical event—or simply browse and discover something new.
The database also features On This Day, connecting each day’s labor history anniversaries with related quotes, songs and films—a daily window into the people, events and culture of the labor movement.
“By bringing several of LHF’s collections together in one accessible resource, the database connects labor history with the films, music and words that have preserved it and carried it forward,” said LHF Executive Director Chris Garlock.
Users can also suggest films, quotes, historical events and songs to be added, helping this living resource continue to grow.
