The History of IATSE 161

This archive goes into the chartering and development of Local 161 from 1944 to the present a New York City union local that is affiliated with the International Stage Employees (IATSE). This union local represents Script Supervisors, Program Coordinators and Production Accountants. While the local may appear small, it has developed jurisdiction over 24 states, and its members have worked all across the entertainment industry in both major and small productions of television and film. This project will cover IATSE’s history through key events, based on primary and secondary source information about the craft experiences that are established within the Local.
