Our Mission

Archive of Industry is a collection of images and historical narratives documenting industrial heritage. It is our mission to make these images available to others to help expand the knowledge of industrial heritage. Independent researchers, historians, and non-profits are particularly encouraged to use items in this collection.

Publication-quality digital images, copy negatives, and contact prints can be purchased for an at-cost fee. Images contained in the Archive of Industry are no longer covered by copyright and therefore there are no copyright fees.
