This part of the St. Catherine University Ade Bethune Collection contains materials relating to the Catholic Worker Movement. The collection spans most of the 20th century, though the bulk of the materials fall between 1940-2000. It includes correspondence, Catholic Worker publications, such as pamphlets, newspapers, and newsletters, other writings relating to the Catholic Worker, and some of Bethune's artwork for the paper. It also contains materials illustrating Bethune's relationship with Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker and more generic materials relating to the social movement in general. Items of particular note include original correspondence between Bethune and Day (series 4), correspondence with other Catholic Workers, especially Mary Paulson (series 3) and Hazen Ordway (series 5) and materials relating to Catholic Worker events, mainly national Catholic Worker gatherings or conferences, including audio cassettes of most of the lectures from the first event in 1983 (series 6, boxes 5 and 7).
