Globalization & the Workplace is a portal to documentation on the effects of globalization on workers and working conditions, labor relations, and social movements.

The site's main goal is to capture, preserve, and make available documentation that was created in digital format, especially if generated by underfunded organizations that use the Internet as their main tool for their activities. The documentation of these activities is thus in danger of being lost. Digital content is vulnerable and often becomes unavailable. The site captures it and stores it in a digital repository, thus ensuring that the content will remain available online and the links will not change. The site will add content as it becomes available online.

Freedom of speech

Intellectual freedom

Since the September 11, 2001 attacks and the passage of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the actions of the federal government to monitor the activities of university-based faculty and students have raised public concern about academic freedom and free speech on college campuses. Americans are actively debating how best to exercise our cherished civil liberties and rights during a period of national crisis. This exhibit describes a series of events that took place at the City College of New York (the oldest of all CUNY colleges) during the 1930s and early 1940s that posed similar challenges to notions of academic freedom and civil liberties.

Red Scare is an image database about the period in the history of the United States immediately following World War I. The dates are approximately from the Armistice in November of 1918 to the collapse of hyper-inflation in mid-1920. It relies entirely on the contemporary visual record of that time. The first quarter of the 20th Century was a period rich in this form of material from newspapers to illustrated magazines. Images may be searched by the date they were created or by subject headings.
