1Title:  International Association of Machinists, District #54 Records     
 Creator:  International Association of Machinists, District #54 
 Dates:  1903-1965 
 Abstract:  The International Association of Machinists, District 54, is the district lodge founded in 1913 to coordinate the interests and activities of various Cleveland, Ohio, IAM locals. It was led by President Matthew DeMore, 1939-1961. District 54 was known for its progressive social philosophy and it set the standards on issues of medical insurance, pension plans and other benefits which were models for other unions. District 54 also initiated several cooperative programs for its members, including the Cleveland Homes Committee to provide low cost quality housing, the Co-op of Cleveland, a consumers' cooperative, and the Union Eye Care Center. The collection consists of minutes, newsletters, correspondence, reports, contracts, financial records, membership rosters, business agents' weekly reports, grievance and arbitration proceedings, organizing files, scrapbooks, newspapers and periodicals relating to the day-to-day activities of a major Cleveland union and its relationship to the International headquarters, subordinate locals and the Cleveland industrial community, particularly during and after World War II.

2Title:  General Motors Corporation, Fisher Body Division, Plant No. 1 Records     
 Creator:  General Motors Corporation, Fisher Body Division, Plant No. 1 
 Dates:  1920-1983 
 Abstract:  The Fisher Body Division, Plant No. 1, was a Cleveland, Ohio, automobile plant opened in 1921 as part of the Fisher Body Company, producing automobile bodies. In 1926 it became part of General Motors Corporation. During World War II the plant produced tank and gun parts and engine parts for airplanes, wartime employment totaling 14,000, including a large number of women. After the war the plant produced large stamping dies and upholstery and trim sets rather than auto bodies. GM closed the plant in 1983. The plant was involved in several bitter strikes during the 1930s, including the 1936-1937 sit-down strike to gain union recognition by GM, which began at the plant. The plant was also known as the Coit Road Plant. The collection consists of correspondence and notices, building permits and floor plans, in-house newspapers, union correspondence and notices, and union publications. There is also a large collection of newspaper clippings relating to General Motors products, labor activities, and the closing of the plant.
