The Holt Labor Library in San Francisco is one of the best selections of labor history materials on the web. They also provide an excellent list of links to major collections of labor history resources.
A very interesting site containing some labor history material is Famous Trials, put together by Professor Douglas O Linder, on the faculty of the University of Missouri/Kansas City.
