The Hagley Digital Archives offers readers access to "collections of images, documents, and publications related to the history of business, technology, and society." Readers unfamiliar with the collection may want to begin by selecting "Browse a list of digital collections," which navigates to a selection of dozens of topics, including American Iron and Steel Institute Photographs, Workplace Posters of the United States, Postcards of Railroad Stations, and many others. Each section features a number of related resources. For instance, selecting Sewing Machine Times, pulls up a number of issues of this bi-monthly trade journal, which was published between 1891 and 1911, and includes articles, news stories, information on new products, employment notices, and advertisements for new and innovative equipment.
