We were very pleased with the outcome of the history of Local 46L -- we have learned so much about our local and its history that hopefully one day, 50 years from now, our future officers can revisit and tell the story of what Local 46L has accomplished and the pride in being a lather and ironworker in New York City!"

"Local 375's 75th-Anniversary Celebration event could not have turned out better, and we were 100% satisfied with UNION HISTORIES and their attention to the details. I was a bit nervous leading up to the celebration, as it was pretty much out of our hands and in the hands of UNION HISTORIES. But after going by the place where we were holding the event and seeing what UNION EVENTS and Ann had put together, I was amazed at just how beautiful and classy the venue looked -- it was all first class, to say the least. The research that UNION HISTORIES did for our History Book was very in-depth ... in fact, I would say you will learn things about your local that you didn’t know about after reviewing your book! I would recommend UNION HISTORIES to any local having an anniversary. These guys are professionals, are organized and are just good at what they do -- you will not be disappointed. Thank you UNION HISTORIES for everything!"

"The UNION HISTORIES team performed nothing short of excellence for Sheet Metal Workers Local 45. They contacted me approximately one year before our 100-year charter anniversary and discussed what they could do for us to put together an amazing piece of history. From that initial phone call to the delivery of the final product, everything was seamless. Calvin was very hands-on and receptive to our input and suggestions, while keeping us up-to-date at every point of the process. We can't thank UNION HISTORIES enough for what they did for us! We would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking to have an anniversary celebrated or a history book created properly!"

"Throughout a two-year-long delay due to COVID-19, Union Histories was right alongside Local One as we waited and continued to plan for our 125th Anniversary Celebration. In the end, the staff of Union Histories provided all of the services they promised and more, as new issues arose while we waited ... but they didn't bat an eye or hesitate as they worked with Local One to help make the celebration happen. So not only did Union Histories provide an amazing History Book with history we did not even know, but its staff was a source of stability and assistance to the local throughout the prolonged celebration-event planning process. Thank you, Union Histories!"

"Union Histories and Union Events did an incredible job with our 100th Anniversary. The intricate details they found with their research were nothing short of fascinating -- there is no way we could facilitate so much research, nor published it into a book without their professional services. The publication of the History book resonated so well with our members and, more importantly, our retirees. Robyn did an amazing job with the event, and her aggressive bargaining helped offset so many costs. She and her staff took care of so many details, from the most significant items all the way down to the napkin selection. Everything was spot on, on time and more than we expected. I highly recommend Union Histories and Union Events to anyone hosting an event of this nature; it’s what made the difference for our great local."

Our members had nothing but positive feedback for the keepsake book, and I recommend any labor organization take advantage of Union Histories' services for a milestone anniversary or just to get your history preserved before that information is lost."
