Part 1: PT Publications 1980-2002 and Newspaper Clippings 1980-1884
Causing a veritable earthquake in Brazil's political landscape, the Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT), swept into national prominence in the national elections of 2002. As a relatively new political party, the PT's remarkable electoral successes have solicited considerable attention from a wide variety of observers and analysts. The PT microfilm project aims to preserve the party's historical documents and make them accessible to researchers. The time period comprised in this collection as a whole ranges from the late 1970's, when labor and other social movements began to discuss the idea of building up a Workers' Party to 2002, when its founder, Lula, was elected president of the Brazilian Republic.
