The publications contained in this collection were originally part of Manuscript Group 62, the papers of the United Steelworkers of America Local Union 1397 of Homestead, Pennsylvania. The collection represents the accumulated archive of anti-war publications focusing on Communism and the Vietnam War. This collection was formed in the 1960s-1970s by Walter Teague during the formation of two anti-war committees created by concerned citizens, the U.S. Committee to Aid the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam, which later became the IndoChina Solidarity Committee. The publications focus on two general topics: the Vietnam War and Communism, and range in publication dates from the 1940s to the 1970s, with the majority centering on the decade from 1965 to 1975. The materials were arranged alphabetically by topic within each series, except for Series A that was arranged by publication number. The publications come in the form of hard and soft-cover books, as well as pamphlets, numbering 208 publications. Series Descriptions include Series A Vietnamese Studies Files; Series B American, Canadian, Cuban, Korean, and Southeast-Asia Publications including Communism and Socialist Issues (1960s-1970s); Series C Vladimir Lenin (1870-1924), Karl Marx (1818-1883), Friedrich Engels (1820-1895), Joseph Stalin (1878-1953) Publications from the Soviet Union, Albania, and China concerning Communism (1940s-1970s).
