Abstract The ALPA Publications is a collection of pamphlets, newsletters, magazines, bulletins, manuals, constitutions and by-laws, arbitration transcripts, and research reports produced by, or involving ALPA from 1933-2006. ALPA s main publication, Air Line Pilot, is still in print and so not included here, but both ALPA national, and individual Master Executive Councils (MEC) also produced a wide variety of publications during the past 80 years which are included in this collection. The ALPA News Bulletin, later changed to ALPA Information Bulletin, 1949-1969, was a bi-weekly and later weekly publication for members to keep them up to date on issues in-between the monthly publications. ALPA also published other monthly newsletters for members such as the Pilot Bulletin and the Pilot Report, both from the 1970s. Tech Talk, 1953-57, was a publication that dealt with technical subjects, and safety issues and was produced monthly by the Engineering and Air Safety department. The Steward and Stewardess Division (S and S Division) also published monthly newsletters, S and S Division News, and S and S Shop Talk which focused on safety issues, both 1963-68. This collection also includes various airline-specific publications. Delta s MEC published The Widget semi-monthly, and is represented in this collection from 1991 to 2006. Trans World Airlines also had a number of publications ranging from 1957-1971. Two were from the MEC: Flight Forum, and The Lancet, both monthly, and two from the airline: Skyliner which was bi-weekly for all employees, and Flite Facts, published monthly from the Flight Operations Department. Lastly United Airlines MEC s publication, The Leading Edge, is also included here from 1993 to 2002. In addition, this collection includes ALPA Constitutions and By-laws, 1933-1970; Policy Manuals, 1960s; Pilot wages and working conditions studies, 1930s; pamphlets and guides, 1940s-70s; as well as U.S. Emergency Board hearings and National Mediation Board hearings, 1951-62.
