Introduction to Workers Monthly collection

Workers Monthly is the contiunation of The Liberator arguably the greatest radical magazine ever produced in America which began in the spring of 1918 as a successor to the New York left wing political, artistic, and literary magazine The Masses, which had been effectively terminated by postal censorship and Justice Department prosecution during World War I. Workers Monthly continued the cover art-work often created with charcoal and simple paints one found on the covers of The Liberator.

In 1924 The Liberator was merged with the Workers Party’s “Trade Union Educational League” magazine, The Labor Herald, and its “Friends of Soviet Russia” monthly, Soviet Russia Pictorial, to form a new publication. This new magazine, The Workers Monthly, was fundamentally similar to the 1923-24 vintage Liberator and continued as the Workers Party’s de facto theoretical journal until 1927, at which time it was given a new form and title as, The Communist. This magazine continues today, known since 1946 as Political Affairs.

The Workers Monthly project team of Tim Davenport and David Walters has grown to include Dr. Marty Goodman, a parallel project that was digitizing the journals of various organizations tracing their lineage back to the U.S. Left Opposition and the early Trotskyists coming out of the Communist Party USA. Ths project is called the Riazanov Project. The Riazanov Project has joined this effort and, with the input of Dr. Goodman, has resulted in stunning high-resolution scans of the Monthly Worker along with some short text introductions on techniques he used to scanned and digitized these works. See these introductions here: Note on Scanning Techniques, and here: Note on Epson Scanner Settings.
