The Archives holds Actors’ Equity records for the period 1913-1980s; this guide describes records covering the first seventy-six years of the union’s history, including constitutions, by-laws and rule books; early records, 1913-1929; general files, 1930-1989; membership files, contract files, claims files, and correspondence with other unions, guilds and federations.
