It was known until 1979 as Meat Cutters District 427 of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America, when the international merged with the Retail Clerks International Union to become the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union.

The collection consists of individual and group portraits of union officials and members and their families.
