Scope and Content of the Series
The index card files consist of membership and death benefits records and UGWA card files related to organizing, locals, garments and companies. The membership files are in order numerically by local and then by member names (these are restricted due to social security numbers; please contact archivist if you have any questions about these materials). The overwhelming majority of the UGWA card files are in alphabetical order by city (with a few exceptions) and contain information about locals, manufacturers, wages, garments, and efforts to organize locals in those cities. A very small amount of topical material is scattered throughout the UGWA files; some information about the topical files is noted in the finding aid.
