AFT archive opens collection of Shanker papers

Dan Golodner, archivist at Wayne State University's Walter P. Reuther Library, commented in a story about the official collection of Albert Shanker's historic tenure as the president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). Golodner said the collection covers three main topics: education reform, teacher unionism and international affairs. He added that next year Shanker's personal papers, including a copy of his unfinished dissertation and his collection of Boy Scout materials, will be on display at the Reuther Library. The Reuther Library is also the repository of the AFT's historical records dating back to 1969.
