Title
A name given to the resource
Mills of Genesee Valley
Description
An account of the resource
Before the commercial extraction of fossil fuels from the Oil Creek region of northern Pennsylvania, most mechanical work in the Genesee Valley was done by human and animal power, or some source ultimately derived from the sun: burning wood, wind power, or flowing water. The exception to this, of course, was coal--by the 1880s America's dominant source of energy. <br /><br />Due to the Genesee region's ample supply of wood and running water, along with the cost of shipping coal, it's quite common to find instances of various water mills in the area's history. They were adapted to a wide range of uses: cutting wood into timber and milling it into specialized shapes (<strong>lumber mill</strong>); grinding corn into animal feed or for distilling alcohol (<strong>grist mill</strong>); grinding wheat or other grains (<strong>flour mill</strong>); creating boxes and other products from wood pulp (<strong>paper mill</strong>); fabricating metals (<strong>triphammer mill</strong>); powering industrial equipment <strong>(textile mill</strong>); and by the 1880s creating electricity via turbines.<br /><br />This collection gathers various documents concerning mills in the Genesee Valley. In addition to images and written texts, there is also an interactive map illustrating the density of their usage during the mid-nineteenth century.

Description
An account of the resource
This collection gathers documents for a Perry Knitting Co. exhibit on OpenValley. They are drawn from from three main sources.<br /><br />First, the Clark Rice Photography Collection at the Perry, NY Public Library. Rice was a prolific photographer in Western New York throughout the mid-20th century. This collection includes scans of his work, and copies of images from the turn of the century photographer Merrium Crocker, whose studio Rice purchased. <br /><br />Secondly, the Henry Page Local History Files. Page was president of First National Bank of Perry, and a local historian associated with the public library for nearly five decades. His uncle, William, had helped secure funding from the Carnegie Corporation for its establishment in 1900 and construction in 1914. The Page collection contains various historical materials and photographs accumulated by him over the years.<br /><br />Thirdly, we draw upon various public domain texts, such as maps from the Library of Congress or <a href="http://perrypubliclibrary.advantage-preservation.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">digitized articles from local newspapers</a>. All images here are selections from these collections, chosen for their relevance to OpenValley project. We gratefully acknowledge the generosity of the Perry Public Library and its Director, Jessica Pacciotti.

An account of the resource
We look down upon the factory located alongside Silver Lake Outlet. Mill No. 1 is next to the smokestack, with Mill No. alongside. In the near foreground, on Elm Street, are Mills No. 4 and 5 (which later burned down in 1970). Behind them is the largest building, Mill No. 3 on Hope Street, which was the yarn mill.
Annotation reads: "Excellent aerial view of the Perry Knitting Company when it was in its hay day [sic]. I think the print was done by WahlAerial service about 1960. It might also have been done by Clark as it is not marked Wahl."

Open House With Nitey Nite
Description
An account of the resource
Celebrating its 75th year of operation, the largest employer invited Perry townspeople for a two-hour tour of its facilities, during which 1,000 employers were at work to demonstrate the machines. There were refreshments and live flamingos. This eight-page pamphlet appears to have aided in a walking tour, with short, accessible descriptions and fanciful line drawings of children frolicking in "Nitey Nite" brand sleepwear. <br /><br />Another possible reason for the tour is hinted at in a news story describing how "Part of the reason for the open house was to attempt to interest some people in working at the plant" (Perry <em>Herald </em>28 May 1953: 1).<br /><br />This item consists of a cover photograph and a pdf file of the program's contents.

Walnut Street Bridge
Description
An account of the resource
From the annotated description reads: "Print showing the Perry Knitting Mill taken by the new metal bridge on Walnut Street, made from an original glass plate, probably about 1910." The iron span was constructed in 1902 by the Owego Bridge Company, rated for a load of four tons. By 1971 it was closed due to concerns over the deteriorating condition of both the bridge and a 210 ft. smoke stack nearby, which had tilted a foot out of plumb. The chimney was razed in 1973 and a new bridge completed early in 1974.
