The Daily Worker, Part V

Last January, we posted original scans of the Daily Worker covering August 1924 through December 1925. Some of these issues turned out excellent. Others were incomplete or distorted due to the limitations of automatic scanning and old, poorly-rendered microfilm. These issues were re-scanned using different software settings and a completely different microfilm source. Some of the new scans are superior to the original batch, and some of the original scans are superior to the new ones. Both sets are now available to the public.

Issues from August through September 1924 are available here.

Issues from October 1924 through January 1925 are available here.

Issues from February through July 1925 are available here.

Issues from July through October 1925 are available here.

Issues from November through December 1925 are available here.

The Daily Worker, Part IV

Part four of the Daily Worker covers August 1927 through September 1928. Again, the quality of the microfilm is far from perfect. Issues were filmed with uneven lighting and inconsistent mounting. But they are better than nothing. At the very least, they can provide a guide to further research in the original sources.

Issues from August 1927 through January 1928 are available here.

Issues from January 1928 through May 1928 are available here.

Issues from May 1928 through September 1928 are available here.

The Daily Worker, Part III

Part three of the Daily Worker covers December 1925 through August 1927. As with the earlier posts in this series, the quality of the microfilm is far from perfect. Many issues were filmed with uneven lighting, which renders some portions unreadable. But they are better than nothing. At the very least, they can provide a guide to further research in the original sources.

Issues from December 1925 through August 1926 are available here.

Issues from September 1926 through January 1927 are available here.

The Daily Worker, Part II

In a previous post, we provided issues of the Daily Worker from August 1924 through December 1925. This post reaches back to some of the paper’s antecedents and earliest issues, covering January 1919 through July 1924. The quality of the microfilm is extremely poor, especially for the early years, with large portions that are illegible. But it is better than nothing. Higher resolution scans of some of these issues and other related newspapers are available here.

Issues of the Ohio Socialist, the Toiler, and the Worker from January 1919 through December 1922 are available here.

Issues of the Worker and the Daily Worker from January 1923 through January 1924 are available here.
