This collection is divided into three series:
I: Images of Mills, Alphabetical by Location. Consists entirely of stereoscopic images
arranged alphabetically by state, then by ciy/town. Most of the images are of mills,
both interior and exterior views. Also includes views from around the mill towns.
II: General Images Organized by Textile Related Subject. Consists of a mix of about
40% stereoscopic images and 60% postcards. These images are arranged by subject based
on ATHM numerically coded "TT" local subject headings. The subject headings have been
kept, but the "TT" codings have been dropped. Most of the images depict the production
of cotton and wool, though there is a section on flax and other fibers. Subjects include
both fiber production, growing wool and cotton, and processing into cloth.
III: Pacific Mills Images Organized by Textile Related Subject. Consists entirely
of stereoscopic images arranged by subject, the same as Series II. The images depict
the production of cotton and wool textiles, with subjects focusing on the production
of cloth.
A stereoscopic viewer is included in the collection in order to view the stereoscopic
images in 3D.
This collection has been kept in the order it was in when received from the American
Textile History Museum. The subject groupings in Series II and Series III are based
on the local subject headings defined by ATHM. These subject headings were coded numerically,
TT1 through TT 63. The Kheel Center has not kept the "TT" designations and has only
retained the subject headings themselves.
The descriptive hierarchy follows the standard box/folder/item scheme. However, in
the case of this collection the "folder" level represents a section of the box, rather
than an actual physical folder.
Access to the collections in the Kheel Center is restricted. Please contact a reference
archivist for access to these materials.
This collection must be used in keeping with the Kheel Center Information Sheet and
Procedures for Document Use.

Photo of Crystal Lee Jordan Sutton shown on front of card with several workers in

could have our own voice, make ourselves a better way of life." Crystal Lee. Printed
on reverse: Crystal Lee Jordan Sutton (b. 1940). Born into a North Carolina weaving
family, she became a dynamic organizer of textile workers in the landmark J.P. Stevens
unionizing drive of 1973-74, in her native Roanoke Rapids, a "company" town. Textiles
& clothing is the only basic U.S. industry not fully organized, despite a southern
workforce of 700,000. "Brown lung," deafening noise, and low pay are among the argued
issues. The Textile Workers Union of America * [*now the Amalgamated Clothing Textile
Workers Union] targeted Crystal's town. One night during her shift she stood up alone
to management and went to jail; but TWUA won the subsequent election & a contract.
The company still refuses to comply legally and a widely publized product boycott
continues. Martinsville, Ind.: Helaine Victoria Press, ca. 1979. 14 x 9 cm.

1914 |
|
Scope and Contents
Black-and-white image shows a room where two men and a woman work at desks with large
designs. More designs are hung in the room. Text on reverse: "Designing Room for Cloth
to be Woven on Jacquard Looms - Silk Industry, So. Manchester, Conn., U.S.A. This
view shows a Jacquard designing room where the designs for cloth woven on a Jacquard
loom are made. Incidentally, it should be noted that the invention of the Jacquard
loom, both because of its ingenuity and because of its far-reaching effects, is probably
the most important invention in the textile industry. The machine is named after Joseph
Marie Jacquard who first made use of the principle. Jacquard was born in Lyons, France,
on the seventh of July, 1752; he died in 1834. By the use of the Jacquard looms very
elaborate patterns for figured or brocaded goods with a large variety of weaves may
be produced. In this picture we get a glance into a corner of the Jacquard designing
room of the Cheney Bros. plant in South Manchester, Conn. A few of the numerous varied
designs are to be seen spread out near the group of expert designers seen at work
in this room. The design is first made of the proper size and then transferred to
paper ruled in squares. Each square represents the intersection of a warp and a filling
thread. From the way in which the design falls on these squares the card cutter can
tell how to punch the cards which control the motion of the warp thread." Meadville,

loom are made. Incidentally, it should be noted that the invention of the Jacquard
loom, both because of its ingenuity and because of its far-reaching effects, is probably
the most important invention in the textile industry. The machine is named after Joseph
Marie Jacquard who first made use of the principle. Jacquard was born in Lyons, France,
on the seventh of July, 1752; he died in 1834. By the use of the Jacquard looms very
elaborate patterns for figured or brocaded goods with a large variety of weaves may
be produced. In this picture we get a glance into a corner of the Jacquard designing
room of the Cheney Bros. plant in South Manchester, Conn. A few of the numerous varied
designs are to be seen spread out near the group of expert designers seen at work
in this room. The design is first made of the proper size and then transferred to
paper ruled in squares. Each square represents the intersection of a warp and a filling
thread. From the way in which the design falls on these squares the card cutter can
tell how to punch the cards which control the motion of the warp thread." Meadville,

Scope and Contents
Black-and-white image depicts a man handling a mule-drawn plow, banking up the cotton
plants. Another man with a plow can be seen in the background. The first step in preparing
the land for a cotton crop is by clearing away the litter. This is generally done
by burning. After that the land is ploughed and harrowed. Once the ground has been
seeded and plants begin to grow, they must be thinned out, leaving the strongest only.
Then a plow is run between the ridges, throwing up the earth against the plants. This
is banking up or bedding up and is what is seen here. Meadville, Pa.: Keystone View

Scope and Contents
Black and white image shows rows of equipment for reeling the silk to form skeins.
The boys in the background place the spools on the lower part of the frames, and then
start the thread in the frames and attend them as they rapidly spin, taking up the
thread from the spools. The rectangular frames of silk are then placed on the form
between the two girls who, using combs in their hands, separate the thread into smaller
skein sections and pass a cord through and tie it, thus making it easy to find the
silk ends and enabling "hanks" of silk to be taken off for use if desired by the weavers.
This process is lacing. The plant is unidentified; Paterson in the mid-teens had literally
several hundred silk mills. New York: Underwood & Underwood. 17.75 x 8.5 cm.

to Santa Fe and other towns, they follow both design and method of weaving their hand-made

Printed on reverse: "How Navajo rugs are made. This scene represents the making of
a Navajo rug in the Indians' home or Hogan, which is done in the winter time. In summer,
the weaving is done outdoors under the shade of a tree. After the wool has been sheared
from the sheep, sorted and washed, it is carded, to make the fibers lie in one direction,
which is here being done by the small girl in the center. It is then worked into a
cord and wound upon a distaff, which is being done by the woman at the left. This
operation is repeated many times until the cord has been twisted to the desired fineness
and hardness. That which is to be red is then dyed. The last step is the weaving.
The manner of weaving and the loom with an unfinished blanket, or rug, are shown at
the right. These fabrics, of all wool, and entirely hand made are becoming greatly
appreciated for their wearing qualities no less than their striking beauty." C.T.

Keystone View Company. Copying design on copper rolls for printing cotton cloth, Lawrence,
Mass. Gelatin silver print, copyrighted by The Keystone View Company. Black-and-white
image depicts a woman sitting at a table, painting the design onto an engraved zinc
plate. Another woman, mostly unseen, stands to the left holding a large design. The
mill in which this takes place is not identified but is most likely the Pacific Mills
in Lawrence, Mass. Text on reverse: "Copying Design to be Printed on Cotton Cloth,
Lawrence, Mass. [explanation of weaving and singing cloth] . This cloth is now ready
for market as white cloth. But much of the demand is for colored or patterned goods.
The patterns are printed on the white cloth by copper rolls, much after the fashion
of paper printing on roller presses. To get the design on the rolls is the next step.
This is the making and the transferring of the design. Skilled artists draft suitable
designs. These are photographed, engraved on zinc, and transferred to the copper rollers
by a chemical process. Each color demands a separate plate. The girl in the view is
busy painting on the engraved zinc plate, those parts of the pattern which belong
to one color. Making ready the copper rolls for printing is one of the most interesting
processes of cloth manufacture." ca. 1914. 17.75 x 8.75 cm.
