The Joseph A. Labadie Collection is the oldest research collection of radical history in the United States, documenting a wide variety of international social protest movements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is named for anarchist and labor organizer Joseph Antoine Labadie (1850-1933). Use of the Labadie Collection is open to all researchers, although special conditions govern the use of manuscript materials and researchers are urged to write or call ahead. Cataloged books, serials, pamphlets, and archival collections may be found in the University Library's on-line catalog, Mirlyn. A listing of some other materials can be found on the menu to the left. Duplication services are available, subject to the condition of the material and copyright or donor restrictions.

"Atlas brings together a collection of empirical, symbolic, and critical texts from many academic disciplines-history, political science, art criticism, theory of criticism, literature, visual poetry, and verse-as well as a number of texts which were manifestos in their time. The point of this mass of fields is to create an autonomous space for reflection and the imagination so that it is possible, in the emancipatory movement from primary, objectivist, and engaged thinking, to proceed to activity. It offers themes for criticism, destruction, reflection, intellectual shifts, or imaginative conjunctions."
