    ARCHIVE OF INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF BLACKSMITHS, DROP FORGERS AND HELPERS
    ARCHIVE OF INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF BLACKSMITHS, DROP FORGERS AND HELPERS.
    Chicago, Illinois: circa 1919-1921. The archive of more than 60 items includes: an Official I. B. of B., D., F., & H. Ballot, Pedigree Blanks, ID card ("D. M. Slickeman"), dues exception forms, assessment form (with embossed seal of Ashland, KY Local 523), Application for Withdrawal, Reinstatement Blanks, Financial Statements, Notice of Arrears, Assessment Receipts, Duplicate Report of Assessment, Traveling Transfer Cards, 4 striking pictorial letterheads filled out in pencil manuscript (plus 10 blank letterheads), 2 printed circulars to officers and members (September, 1920), 10 blank report sheets, envelopes, miscellaneous blank official forms and sheets, treasurer’s receipts and reports, official supply blanks, etc. Lastly are the Treasurer’s Receipt Book (with numerous receipts for members’ dues), and large membership receipt book with entries on 5 leaves representing membership dues for more than 30 members. Many of the forms are blank (and in triplicate), but combined with the manuscript material, they richly document the intricate bureaucratic channels of this multi-trade union and its members. This small, but rich archive of more than 60 items constitutes excellent primary resource material about the Chicago branch of this storied Brotherhood. Varying wear, few tears, generally in good to very good condition.
    The International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders, Blacksmiths, Forgers and Helpers was founded on September 1, 1893. On that day, at a meeting in Chicago, Illinois, representatives from the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers and Iron Ship Builders (which had been organized on October 1, 1880) and the National Brotherhood of Boilermakers (which had been formed in Atlanta, Georgia, in May 1888), resolved to consolidate their organizations.
