Collection material in English
The Draper Corporation was once the largest maker of power looms for the textile industry
in the United States. It operated in Hopedale, Massachusetts for more than 130 years.
This collection consists of two series: Series A, 5 inch by 7 inch glass plate negatives,
approximately 1,500; and Series B, 8 inch by 10 inch glass plate negatives, approximately
2,000.
Many of the photographs in Series A depict company outings, or "Field Days." These
events were most likely organized by the Draper Company and may have consisted entirely
of Draper Company employees. Founders of the Draper Company, brothers George and Ebenezer
Draper were responsible for creating an integrated, planned community with innovative
employee housing and recreational spaces, in addition to employment.
Series B consists largely of machinery built by the Draper Company. Also included
are photographs of the company plant, employee housing, recreational facilities, and
the surrounding area.
All negatives in this collection have been printed, please see collection 6612 P:
Draper Corporation Photographs. Of the roughly 3,500 negatives 513 have been described
at the individual level. Those descriptions are available in the container lists for
both this collection and collection 6612 P.
The container list for this collection is not complete. Only those negatives that
had descriptions from the American Textile History Museum are included as "Folders."
The negative number has been used as the "folder number" in order to allow for descriptions
for the currently undescribed negatives to be added with any re-numbering.
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

located near the fell of the cloth, one on each side; temples hold the cloth out as
wide as possible during the process of weaving and prevent it from being drawn in
too much by the filling. See Negative 1000, in this box, for a view of the Temple
Shop with a dozen employees and taken from the opposite angle as this one. The Temple
Shop was built in 1868 for W. W. Dutcher. The Draper Company manufactured textile

taken from (the top of) the chimney of the Draper Company. Image shows houses on Dutcher
Street. The three houses in the center (in front of the grove of trees) appear to
be worker housing, as the two single-families on the right and the two-family on the
left appear identical in style. Other houses can be seen further in the distance.

Street, but from a different angle than that seen in Negative 1012, in this box. A
number of the houses have free-standing clotheslines in them with laundry. The dark-colored,
three-and-a-half story house on the left may be a boardinghouse, as it has a fire
escape on the side. These houses were probably constructed for employees of the Draper
Company. Wooded land behind the houses but a very large house can be glimpsed in the

Wrecked chimney, Draper Company
|
|
Scope and Contents
Negative no.A1028. 1891-1895. Image depicts a chimney that shows damage at the top
and a pile of bricks and rubble on the ground in front of it. Scaffolding around the
chimney appears to be higher than the top of the chimney, which suggests that possibly
something went wrong during construction, although it is possible scaffolding was
erected higher than the top of the damaged chimney in order to rebuild it. A four-story
brick building appears in the background. In front of that is a platform on which
a number of workers can be seen. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery,
primarily looms. See Negative 1029, in this box, for a closer view of the damage at
the base of the chimney and Negative 1030 and Negative 1032, also in this box, for
close-up views of the interior damage. See Box 1, Negative 1003 for an image of the
chimney, much taller than here, under construction. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612

Scope and Contents
Negative no.A50. 1894-1900. Image depicts a view of a C-model loom with a duplex harness,
photographed against a sheet, probably in an unknown mill. The battery is on the right-hand
side, although there appears to be no box for the bobbins. The harness is the frame
containing the heddles through which the warp threads are drawn prior to weaving.
By lifting or lowering the harnesses in the loom the shed is formed. The shed is the
opening formed when some warp threads are raised by their harnesses while others are
left down. Forming the shed is the first action in weaving, and it is through the
shed that the shuttle passes in inserting the filling. This loom contains two harnesses.

the boardinghouse was "doubled" which may account for the unfinished aspects of it.)
A front porch runs the length of the building. The sign "Hopedale House," which can

Sucking thread through the shuttle eye, Draper Company
|
1911 |
Scope and Contents
Negative no.B861. February 11, 1911. Image depicts an unidentified male operative
demonstrating how mill operatives would suck the thread through the eye of a shuttle.
The man holds the shuttle to his mouth; he would use his right hand to draw the thread
out. Mill operatives would draw the thread through their mouths to help smooth it
and make it easier to draw through the eye of the shuttle. However, sucking on cotton
thread could eventually cause lung problems and did so in many mill operatives. The
unidentified man wears work clothes: dark shirt and pants with a light tie. He also
wears wire-rimmed glasses. The demonstration takes place in an unidentified mill;
the battery of a loom can be seen on the left. He is presumably a Draper Company employee.
See Negative 862 and Negative 863, in this box, for images of another employee demonstrating
this, and Box 179, Negative 870 through Negative 874 for images demonstrating this
procedure using a skeleton. As the Draper Company manufactured textile machinery,
primarily looms, and did not manufacture cloth, it is unclear what relation this photograph
has to Draper unless it was to demonstrate something with their looms. 8 x 10 in.

W. W. Dutcher, Draper Company
|
1912 |
Scope and Contents
Negative no.B1074. Image depicts Warren W. Dutcher (born 1812), who joined the Draper
Company in 1856 and who operated the Temple Shop. Dutcher is shown from the waist
up, wearing a dark, three-piece suit, dark bow tie, and white shirt. He is balding
and has a white beard. Most likely a photograph of an oil painting. Notation on the
reverse of the print reads: "W. W. Dutcher Apr 1, 1912" which is most likely the date
this painting was photographed, as Dutcher appears to be in his 60s or 70s, which
would place the image about 1880. 8 x 10 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 16, Folder
1, Item 1074 for print of this negative.
