Publications, 1893-1991

Established in 1887, the Pattern Makers' League of North America was founded to promote interest in protecting the high standards of their workers' craft. The League was composed of associations of practical pattern makers, mold makers, model makers, fixture builders, allied craftsmen and eventually, plastic workers. The collection documents the development, growth, and decline in membership of this trade union from 1887 to 1991. Included in this collection's holdings are bylaws, financial records and statistics, convention proceedings, correspondence, publications, photographs, as well as several artifacts - all documenting the history of the Pattern Makers' League of North America.
