Sub-series consists of vertical files created and/or maintained by the Department of Labour Library. These files contain reports, occasional minutes of labour organizations and memoranda and pamphlets on Canadian labour collected by the Department of Labour Library since 1900. (Originally called the Vertical Files Series, "Vertical" refers to the type of file cabinet originally used by the Library to store the material). Over the years the Labour Library amassed a large amount of material that was rare and historically valuable. During 1977-1978 the most valuable historical items were microfiched by the Library and the originals sent to the National Archives to form this collection. The range of material is quite wide. About one third of the files contain material created before 1920. Originally, material was grouped by the Library under such titles as "Unemployed. Canada"; "Labour Organization - History. Canada"; "Collective Bargaining. Canada"; Unemployed - Relief. Canada"; "Wages and Hours - Women. Canada".
