This collection documents Leonard Weinberg's career as a Baltimore lawyer working on labor cases. It consists of two scrapbooks of newspaper clippings and some correspondence documenting labor issues such as strikes, union disputes, and accidents involving companies. Newspaper clippings include references to the Baltimore clothing company L. Greif & Brother, Inc., National Recovery Administration, Friedman-Marks Clothing Company, and the Railway Audit and Inspection Company, as well as other labor cases.
This collection was donated to the University of Maryland Libraries by Dr. Stuart B. Kaufman in 1990.
In the summer of 2019, Allison Riehl reviewed the collection and updated the finding aid, including edits to the descriptive content of the abstract, custodial history, processing information, and scope and contents. Materials originally wrapped together in brown paper were re-housed into acid-free boxes.
