United Farm Workers is a 20th century union organization created when the National Farm Workers Association and Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee merged to further the rights of farm workers. As the organization developed, it led strikes and organizing campaigns to advance their efforts.

Agricultural Workers History Collection is comprised of articles written by and related to the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee and later the United Farm Workers. The majority of the articles are on the topic of California agriculture and farm worker organizing, but some of the articles refer to New England, Michigan, and Texas agricultural organizing. These articles come from a variety of sources including, People, Migration Today, and Wine and Vine.
