Speaking of that, a couple other items I should add. The FBI seized some internal Communist documents from a meeting in Bridgman, Michigan in 1922; these are cited in R.M. Whitney's 1924 book Reds in America, which has been reprinted a few times. Also, CP papers such as The Daily Worker are available in microfilm collection:
Newspapers of the American Communist Party
A virtually complete set of the official newspapers of the American Communist Party from 1919 through today’s editions is now available. The retrospective set includes People’s Daily World and its predecessors—The Daily Worker, The Ohio Socialist, The Toiler, The Worker, The Midweek Worker, and The Southern Worker. An annual subscription to People’s Weekly World (two reels annually) keeps coverage current.
A portion of the FBI's files on The Daily Worker are on the FBI's FOIA site and on CD-ROM:
