The Tamiment Library and Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives Collection of Housing Serials assembles partial runs of 74 publications addressing issues around housing, published between 1925 and 2002 mainly in the United States. The majority of the collection consists of newspapers and newsletters distributed by community organizations, alongside self-produced pamphlets, circulars, and one-off reports containing guidance from agencies addressing problems in housing. The serials document exchanges between government agencies and tenants' groups, relaying news of changes in housing law, standards governing living conditions, discriminatory renting practices, rent strikes, gentrification, squatting, and homelessness. Some titles record events in neighborhoods acutely impacted by changes in the availability and quality of housing, chronicling communities in the Bronx, Morningside Heights, Fort Greene, and the Lower East Side, New York; Somerville, Brockton, and Newton Centre, Massachusetts; and in the Bay Area of California and Seattle, Washington. Among the organizations whose publications are included are the Bronx Tenants Union; the Lower East Side Joint Planning Council; the Architects' Renewal Committee in Harlem; the Cambridge Tenants' Organizing Committee; the Amalgamated Housing Corporation; the United Housing Foundation; and Jobs or Income Now (JOIN). The majority of serials date between around 1970-1995, with a handful of earlier titles; smaller areas of the collection include single publications from London, England, and Toronto, Canada, and a report on the conditions of housing in the United States published in Switzerland. Publications often also cover neighborhood and community news more generally, addressing issues around jobs, transit, police brutality and anti-racism efforts, and some include Spanish-language sections. No complete runs of publications are contained herein, and generally only a handful of issues of each publication are held.
