The International Typographical Union was founded in 1869 and was the oldest surviving union in North America as of its dissolution in 1986. It was an industrial union for people involved in various aspects of the printing trade. It was a progressive union who allowed female members to join in 1869, making it one of the earliest unions to do so. The Kingston branch union #204 was the oldest trade union in Kingston at the time of the donation of its minute books and ledger to the Archives in 1964.
