Labor Day Exhibit! Fruits of Labor: Celebrating Work and Industry in Massachusetts
This exhibit honors the labor of the Massachusetts worker through a selection of images in the Digital Commonwealth. Massachusetts was at the forefront of the industrial revolution. It was here that the textile and shoe making industries flourished during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Thousands of workers, including women and newly arrived immigrants flocked to the industrial centers, lured by the promise of jobs; jobs that were often difficult and dreary, but provided needed income and, for some, a measure of independence. From Wakefield to Westfield, from Lawrence to Leominster, from Hopedale to Holyoke and beyond, Massachusetts workers powered an array of industries, feeding their families and growing the local economy.
For an overview to the digitization process, please visit the "Getting Started with Digital Commonwealth" page or the PDF version of "Getting Started." PDF version of "Getting Started" (available from a different server).
