Description: The exhibit provides access to a selection from the more than 2,100 images of Baker Library’s Industrial Life Photograph Collection. The photographs were gathered by Harvard Business School for students to study the interaction of worker and machine in a variety of manufacturing operations, an instructional concept known as the “case method” whereby students solved problems by studying real-life business situations. Created in the years between the world wars, the Industrial Life Photograph Collection reveals the colliding—and sometimes competing—messages of art and industry, education and public relations, humanity and modernization.
