Historical NoteReturn to Top
Michael Munk was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, in 1934 and moved to Portland, Oregon with his parents in 1939. He attended Reed College, and after serving in the United States Army, he later received a Ph.D. from New York University. He went on to teach political science at several universities, including Stony Brook University, Roosevelt University, and Rutgers University. Upon retirement from teaching, Munk returned to Portland, where he switched his focus to Portland’s history and Oregon’s radical and working-class past. Munk published several articles on the subjects of labor and political radicalism in Oregon in the Oregon Historical Quarterly, The Pacific Northwest Quarterly, Portland Monthly and The Oregonian. In 2007 Munk published the book The Portland Red Guide.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
This collection contains materials collected by Michael Munk while he was researching and writing about various aspects of Portland and Oregon history, especially issues of radical left-wing politics and labor. The collection includes notes, correspondence (letters and email printouts), posters, pamphlets, flyers, news clippings, brochures, photographs (printed out, developed, and on CD-ROMS), and cassettes. Many of the items in this collection are copies of primary sources, although there are a number of original documents, especially in the Ephemera folders. Subjects include leftist and labor union figures in Oregon history, including John Reed, Louise Bryant, Tom Burns, and Stanley Moore, a professor at Reed College dismissed for alleged Communist activity. Also included are materials relating to places outside Portland and in Washington State.
Munk has had a long history of involvement in radical politics, and materials on his personal activities are interwoven with materials on the subjects of his research. As a result, this collection, while primarily a collection of Munk's own research materials, also contains some materials relating to his own involvement in Portland and Oregon history.
