The Western Labor Communications Association Records are arranged into the following series: Series 1: Conferences and Workshops
(1991-2003); Series 2: Executive Board Meetings (1993-2008), and Series 3: Founding Documents (1965-2004).
The Western Labor Communications Association (WLCA), founded in 1965 as the California Labor Press Association (CLPA), provided
informational and educational support for labor publications, labor-oriented radio and television programs, and later, electronic
media. During its existence, the WLCA hosted annual conferences and journalism contests, and provided resources to help raise
the profile of California's labor press publications.
On June 16, 2006, the WLCA was officially dissolved and their treasury was turned over to the International Labor Communications
Association (ILCA), the AFL-CIO umbrella organization for labor communications.
