Mostly 8.5x11 inches. Stacked up, we measure 6 vertical inches of documents with an average of 60 items per inch yielding approx. 360 distinct documents in this collection organized by month. These documents are from the leading body of the Socialist Workers Party. Included are minutes and reports from the larger National Committee, which would meet 2 to 4 times a year, as well as the internal minutes from the SWP's youth group, the Young Socialist Alliance. Documents from the Fourth International, the international current that the SWP was in solidarity with, are often included. Much of the collection is National Office correspondence to the branches of the SWP and the various national campaigns the SWP was engaged with on a day-to-day basis. The documents continue the ongoing implementation of SWP members as part of "The Turn to Industry." Included are some documents discussing the state of the Fourth International and ongoing factual struggles of this international current. These documents are from the archives of former Political Committee member Nelson Blackstock.
