Title: Photographic prints, 1913-1986. 1937-1986 (bulk).

This large collection of photoprints documents many aspects of the history of the TWU through Mike Quill's involvement with that history. Besides Quill family portraits and snapshots and one professionally documented trip to Quill's homeland (1963), the collection is strong on photoprints of the early TWU and CIO leadership and conventions. Included are shots of the TWU conventions (1939, 1941, 1945, 1948, 1955, and 1961) and CIO conventions (1937, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1947, 1951, 1952, 1954, and 1957). One highlight is a group portrait of the CIO leadership in 1940 - Joseph Curran, Quill, Philip Murray and John L. Lewis. Quill's effective use of the media is also evidenced by the many shots at press conferences and on TV programs. One image, for example, shows Quill with TWU picketers at a TV station during the 1953 bus strike. There are some shots of Quill speaking, both while organizing and serving as a city councilman. The anti-communist response is documented in a 1948 rally. Other highlights: the Unity Slate Victory party (1950), Martin Luther King, Jr. speaking at the Gandhi Society Luncheon (1963), and Quill's last press conference and his memorial service.
