Lewis Hine Photo
Album of Child Labor
The Lewis Hine series of photographs is the
most thorough documentation ever made of the state of child labor
in America in the early years of the 20th century. They tell the
story of child labor in America the way no text or research study
could. They are a resource of enormous value and importance to
the history of this issue.
These photos come from two sources: some
are from the online collections of the National Archives, and
others are from the Lewis Hine photograph collection of the University
of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). The UMBC Library Archives
owns a complete set of over 5,000 Hine photographs and is in the
process of making reference copies of the images available on
their website at:
