The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), Local 2084 records date from 1970 to 1985, and consist of program materials, membership records, and publications generated by faculty at Western Washington State College (now Western Washington University) in Bellingham, Washington. The collection documents the advocacy efforts of the AFT Local 2084 during the 1970s and 1980s, which included fighting salary reductions, preventing faculty lay-offs, and pursuing enabling legislation for collective bargaining at four-year institutions of higher learning. These issues were prevalent among other colleges and universities throughout the state of Washington at the same time.

Program materials contain records generated by AFT Local 2084's board members, as well as correspondence, draft proposals, notices, bulletins, and memoranda. The collection also contains membership lists and recruitment instructions. Publications include an incomplete set of the Western Union, the publication of the AFT Local 2084, as well as cartoons by members. There are also some newspaper clippings about union-related activities at Western Washington University as well as in colleges and universities throughout the state of Washington.
