The Anna Marie and Jorge O'Leary Papers consist of correspondence, printed matter, and miscellaneous items documenting the Phelps Dodge copper strike of 1983-1986. The collection dates from 1981 to 1987 and has been divided into two series.

Series I: People's Clinic consists of incoming and outgoing personal correspondence addressed to Dr. Jorge O'Leary expressing support for his efforts to bring attention to the plight of the copper miners and their families during the Phelps Dodge strike in the Clifton-Morenci, Arizona area. The letters date from 1981 to 1987 and were written by eastern labor union leaders and members, college students, and individuals from Mexico and Germany. Other letters acknowledge the financial support that Dr. O'Leary received from individuals who sympathized with his cause. Anna O'Leary's activities as a member of the Morenci Miners Women's Auxiliary in the Clifton-Morenci area and as a member of the Clifton City Council are also discussed.

Series II: Miscellaneous houses pamphlets, newspaper clippings, magazine articles, and related materials showing the Phelps Dodge strike of 1983 and illustrating the role of women in labor movements in the United States.
