Administrative history
Vancouver's Mayworks was started in 1987 in order to organize a week-long cultural festival in Vancouver, B.C. in May. The festival was intended to celebrate worker's contributions through artistic expression, to educate about the role of workers in society, to foster a culture which values workers, to promote working people's cultural expression, and to build ties between the labour movement and cultural workers.
Custodial history
Records were in the custody of Craig Berggold, co-founder of Mayworks, until their acquisition by Simon Fraser University Library Special Collections and Rare Books in 2012.
Scope and content
Fonds consists of records documenting the organization and promotion of Vancouver's Mayworks Festival of Working People and the Arts.

Fonds also includes a thesis about Mayworks written by Aurian Haller in 2004.
