The Background Materials series is composed of items in several media which provide historical context and overview of the work of the two locals in New Haven. Arranged topically, from the general to the more specific, they include various papers, published and unpublished, of shirt and clothing workers in New Haven and in Connecticut; reports on wages and earnings in the clothing industry in the 1930s; transcripts of several taped interviews and conversations with former members and/or officers of both locals; and the taped interviews themselves.

This set consists of the "working papers" of the unions. These are records that were kept for internal information and reference. They include many materials from other ACTWU locals in the New England region and from the New England Regional Joint Board of the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union, AFL-CIO. They were donated by Nicholas Aiello, who was the business agent for the New England Region. They include constitutions; copies of contract agreements between ACTWU and various local clothing manufacturers between 1960 and 1989; correspondence of both unions, both internal and external, between 1914 and 1994; minutes and proceedings of meetings and conventions, 1901, 1933, 1936, and 1964; three folders of letters and materials dealing with lobbying activities and legislative efforts, especially concerning minimum wage legislation (1931©1933) and imports (1985), as well as miscellaneous letters to legislators and responses; documents containing information on local industry; and informational pamphlets for union activists and organizers.

This set of records consists of materials which were sent out, posted, or otherwise made available to union members and the public about meetings, demonstrations, campaigns, or union activity in general. It is organized chronologically (in so far as possible, as a lot of material is not dated) and includes: notices of membership meetings, dinners, picnics (1919-1935, 1979, and n.d.); miscellaneous "action alert" leaflets (most undated); miscellaneous pamphlets discussing the benefits of union membership (mostly undated); and organizational materials relating to the J.P. Stephens boycott, c. 1979
