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. 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. 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. 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>.

Title A name given to the resource The Cutting Machine Description An account of the resource From the Rice Collection annotation: "8 x 10 black and white photograph inside the Perry Knitting Company showing the cutting machine and two women who ran it, about 1960, one of the women is Mrs. Kwiecien." A fuller story is given in the "Perry Knitting Company News" feature in the Perry Herald (<a href="http://perrypubliclibrary.advantage-preservation.com/viewer/?i=f&by=1955&bdd=1950&d=01011950-12311959&e=perry%20knitting%20company%20news&m=between&ord=e1&fn=perry_herald_usa_new_york_perry_19550630_english_11&df=1&dt=10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">30 June 1955: 11</a>): "The two girls with the nice smiles are Irene Kwiecien on the left and Blanche Monteleone on the right." They're using a cutting machine allowing for handling flat fabric for Nitey Nite sleepwear instead of being knit in tube form. So "the girls" are operating the new machine for winter weight sleepwear, although the work looks strenuous. Their aprons show the stains of hands-on engagement with the machinery.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Perry Knitting Co. 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. 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. 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. 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.
