Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The Rice Collection annotation reads: "Print taken about 1900 of the Perry Knitting Mill and the seamstresses sewing up the underwear made at the time." This seems plausible given some of the photograph's details. There is no overhead electrical lighting, and power for the machines appears to be supplied by a series of belts. We see women in shirtwaist blouses, and male supervisors in coats or vests with bow ties. One man sports a boater hat. Taken as a whole, this clearly formal photograph is meant to convey a well-run factory of the day: employees on tasks and managers ensuring orderly decorum. Still, at the left side of the image we can see a group of women laughing... presumably at the occasion of a photographer's visit. This item consists of four files: a cropped image of web-friendly size, a larger cropped image, the original framed photograph, and an image cropped specifically for an OpenValley exhibit.

Title A name given to the resource Perry Knitting Co. Walkway--1978 Fire Description An account of the resource A decade after the PKC had gone out of business, the challenge of how to deal with its former property and buildings was vexing. At least a few of them were rented by tenants, but in other cases they presented imminent hazards--an iconic smokestack was taken down in 1973--and two fires of suspicious origins burned down several buildings. (The one shown here proved to be a case of arson in order to collect insurance money.) From the reverse side of the photograph: "Corner of Hope & Water.

Title A name given to the resource Perry Knitting Co. Window Display, Main Street Description An account of the resource This photograph, taken by Clark Rice, is a bit surreal. It shows a display created for windows of the Rockwell-Perry department store, located at the corner of Main St. and Borden Ave. The theme was <a href="https://openvalley.org/items/show/1542" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Nitey Nite Songbirds"</a> and was promoted in the Perry Herald for the week of October 29 - November 4, 1951. We behold six mannequins dressed in Nitey Nite pajamas, along with a number of smaller dolls similarly attired. Artificial palm trees and birds in cages complete the array--behind a set of bars representing a zoo. In the foreground are two live flamingos. The birds correspond to pajama colors: flamingo pink, canary yellow, parakeet and hummingbird green, bluebird blue, and robin red.

Title A name given to the resource Perry Knitting Co., Castile Branch Description An account of the resource Two men stand in front of a building that began operations in 1916 and, as of 1918, was producing 500 dozen garments every week. (Perry Herald 22 April 1936: 7; Perry Herald 23 March 1938: 7). The Knitting Co. had difficulties in attracting workers to Perry, and often had a standing advertisement for "Girls" in various newspapers. Local transportation was ineffective. Thus, by opening a factory in Castile (and later in Mt. Morris) the employment came to workers. As a branch factory the Castile plant was susceptible to reduced hours (1924) or closings during economic slowdowns (1920). It's not clear whether the photograph's iris effect was intentional.

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.
