The Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) Printed Ephemera Collection is an artificial collection, collected and assembled by the Tamiment Library over the course of several decades. The CIO was founded in 1935 as part of the American Federation of Labor (AFL) and known as the Committee for Industrial Organization. Formalizing a break with the AFL over disputes in how to organize industrial workers, the CIO held its first convention in 1938, and it was there that it changed its name to the Congress of Industrial Organizations. The collection consists of contracts, agreements, and constitutions, as well as printed ephemera such as fliers, brochures, leaflets, newspaper clippings, pamphlets and other publications. Material comes from the international and national body of the CIO but also its regional, state, and city councils, most notably, the Greater New York CIO Council and the New York State Industrial Union Council.
