"LOST LABOR: Images of Vanished American Workers 1900-1980 is a
selection of 155 photographs excerpted from a collection of more
than 1100 company histories, pamphlets, and technical brochures
documenting America's business and corporate industrial history."
Over the last 20 years this collection of rare and difficult to
find pictures was collected. This unusual historical record of
20th Century America documents many factories, machinery, and
jobs that no longer exist.

You'll want to surf this site from the sidebar, category by
category. Even on dial-up the images loaded quickly. The photos
you see are haunting, and full of character. You'll see people
hard at work in contrast to modern society where many people are
hardly working. We've refined work so that machines do most of it
for us. But these pictures show exactly what it was like before
computers and computerized machinery. They even have pictures of
women who worked in factories.
