UFW Administration Department Files Papers 1960-1975 (Predominantly 1968-1973) 26 linear feet 26 storage boxes Part 1 Accession # 221 OCLC # DALNET # The National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) was founded in 1962. In 1966 it affiliated with the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee to form the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee (UFWOC). In 1973 the UFWOC became the United Farm Workers, AFL-CIO. Cesar Chavez led the Farm Workers from the NFWA’s founding until his death in 1993. The Administration Department files reflect the wide range of people and groups with whom the UFW corresponded. In addition, the work of the union itself is represented, including boycott files from around the United States, Canada, and Europe. There are files from the union’s newspaper El Malcriado, and papers showing the work of the union print shop El Taller Grafico. Some of the files of California Assemblyman Art Torres are also in this collection. This collection is especially rich in the correspondence, agreements, negotiations, and grievances that the UFW had with the southern California grape growers in the early 1970s. Important subjects in the collection: Boycotts Health / Pesticides Contracts Le Roy Chatfield Grievances Art Torres Important correspondents in the collection: Cesar Chavez Edward Kennedy Archbishop Hugh Donohoe Bill Kircher (AFL-CIO) Dolores Huerta Pete Seeger Non-Manuscript Material: A number of photographs, bumper stickers, buttons, and cloth goods have been placed in the Archives Audio-Visual Collection.
