The Pamphlet Collection represents one of the most unique portions of the Meyers Collection. It consists of over 5,000 pamphlets, flyers and brochures representing the Communist Party, Socialist, and other leftist movements.

A large number of the pamphlets are from the former Soviet Union and the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany). Several of the pamphlets date from the 1920s and 1930s and deal with the Spanish Civil War and other contemporary issues.

Another large portion of the pamphlets deal with the period of McCarthyism in the United States during the 1950s.

The Pamphlet Collection is cataloged in the Library’s on-line catalog, catalogUSMAI.
