An Information Management list in the U.S. provided me with the info. There is a substantial archive of the CPUSA. Reading Russian is a help, Tovarich. "The archives contain 220,00 files (15 linear kilometers of shelving) in almost 90 languages, and are divided into 521 documentary units(files).
The Comintern archives contain 55 million pages of original documents in almost
90 languages from seven Congresses, thirteen ECCI Plenums, and over 70 communist, socialist, and other international organizations. Hand-written
amendments and other personal corrections made by various figureheads of the communist movement make this material even more valuable. The archives cover the whole period during which the organization was active, namely 1919-1943."
At present 1,200,000 pages are available to the subscribers online.
