Sub-Series 16.2: External Printed Material

Includes books, pamphlets, broadsides and ephemera collected by SCI relating to the maritime community and contemporary events and politics. Some items likely formed part of the Joseph Conrad Library collection, which operated as a seafarers’ library at SCI’s 25 South Street and 15 State Street headquarters. Of particular note is SCI’s collection of unique and scarce labor pamphlets from the New York City waterfront circa 1930-1950.
