Certainly the last nine years, through my doctoral coursework, examinations, research, and writing. But my inspiration came in many forms at many moments. Some from my childhood, when my engineer father instilled an interest in history, historical places, and mechanical things. I recall our visit to the Quincy Mine in Hancock during my teenage years and our mutual amazement upon finding our family name forged into joists of the giant steam hoisting engine constructed by the Nordberg Manufacturing Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. My route back to the Keweenaw wasn’t through industrial history, but as an archivist charged with selecting and preserving historical records. And it was while working at the Michigan Tech Archives that I found its collection of blueprints from the Nordberg Manufacturing Company. Over time, I learned that these materials were once part of a larger collection of records created and held by the company, that they had been surveyed by curators from Smithsonian Institution, and that the collection had been broken into pieces and transferred to repositories around the country. This was the original kernel for this project: Which are the most important archival repositories collecting records of business, industry, and technology? How and why did they begin collecting manuscripts? What influenced what they collected? What did they turn down (and what happened to that stuff)? Is there enough historical archival material preserved to answer the myriad of questions we have

  • Worker Resistance to Company Unions: the Employe Representation Plan of the Pennsylvania Railroad, 1920-1935
    WORKER RESISTANCE TO COMPANY UNIONS: THE EMPLOYE REPRESENTATION PLAN OF THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD, 1920-1935 Albert Churella Southern Polytechnic State University Panel: Railway Organisations and the Responses of Capitalism and Governments, 1830-1940: A National and Internationally Comparative View William Wallace Atterbury, the PRR Vice-President in Charge of Operation, believed that a golden age of harmony between management and labor had existed prior to the period of federal government control of the railway industry, during and immediately after World War I. Following the Outlaw Strike of 1920, Atterbury attempted to recreate that mythic golden age through the Employe Representation Plan. Workers, however, saw the Employe Representation Plan for the company union that it was, ultimately leading to far more serious labor-management confrontations. Illustration 1 originally appeared in the Machinists’ Monthly Journal 35 (May 1923), 235. Introduction The vicious railway strikes that tore across the United States in 1877 marked the emergence of class conflict in the United States. They also shattered the illusion that the managers and employees of the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) shared a common bond of familial loyalty and dedication to their Company. For the next forty years, PRR executives attempted to reestablish that sense of loyalty, harkening back to an imagined pre-industrial past, redolent with harmony and cooperation. As late as 1926, the PRR’s treasurer, Albert J. County, spoke for his fellow executives when he suggested that “the Chief problems of human relations in our time, as affecting the great transportation systems and manufacturing plants, have therefore been to find effective substitutes for that vanished personal contact between management and men, to the end that the old feeling of unity and partnership, which under favorable conditions spontaneously existed when the enterprises were smaller, might be restored.”1 PRR executives attempted to recreate “the old feeling of unity and partnership” with periodic doses of welfare capitalism.

  • Industrialism, Androids, and the Virtuoso Instrumentalist
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Performing the Mechanical: Industrialism, Androids, and the Virtuoso Instrumentalist A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Musical Arts by Leila Mintaha Nassar-Fredell 2013 © Copyright by Leila Mintaha Nassar-Fredell 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Performing the Mechanical: Industrialism, Androids, and the Virtuoso Instrumentalist by Leila Nassar-Fredell Doctor of Musical Arts University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Robert S. Winter, Chair Transactions between musical androids and actual virtuosos occupied a prominent place in the music of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Instrumentalists and composers of instrumental music appropriated the craze for clockwork soloists, placing music in a position of increased social power in a society undergoing rapid technological transformation. The history of musical automata stretches back to antiquity. Androids and automata, vested by audiences with spiritual and magical qualities, populated the churches of the broader populations and the Renaissance grottos of the aristocracy. As ii the Industrial Revolution began, automata increasingly resembled the machines changing the structure of labor; consequently, androids lost their enchanted status. Contemporary writers problematized these humanoid machines while at the same time popularizing their role as representatives of the uncanny at the boundaries of human identity. Both instrumental performers and androids explored the liminal area between human and machine. As androids lost their magic, musical virtuosos assumed the qualities of spectacle and spirituality long embodied by their machine counterparts. In this process virtuosi explored the liminal space of human machines: a human playing a musical instrument (a machine) weds the body to a machine, creating a half-human, half-fabricated voice.

  • The Role of Cliometrics in History and Economics
    Documents de travail « The Role of Cliometrics in History and Economics» Auteurs Claude Diebolt, Michael Haupert Document de Travail n° 2021 – 26 Juin 2021 Bureau d’Économie Théorique et Appliquée BETA www.beta-umr7522.fr @beta_economics Contact : [email protected] The Role of Cliometrics in History and Economics Claude Diebolt, CNRS, University of Strasbourg and Michael Haupert, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Prepared for Bloomsbury History: Theory and Method Draft: June 10, 2021 Summary How did cliometrics in particular, and economic history in general, arrive at this crossroads, where it is at once considered to be a dying discipline and one that is spreading through the economics discipline as a whole? To understand the current status and future prospects of economic history, it is necessary to understand its past. Keywords Cliometrics, economic history, Robert Fogel, Douglass North, economic growth, econometrics, interdisciplinary economic history, new economic history, multidisciplinary, methodology, quantitative. JEL codes A12, N00, N01 Introduction In 2019 Diebolt and Haupert (2019a), in a response to the question of whether economic history had been assimilated by the economics discipline, argued that rather than assimilation, economic history resembled a ninja, and had infiltrated the discipline. That view of the current status of economic history is not universally shared. Abramitzky (2015 p 1242) bemoaned the fact that the typical economist only cares about the past “to the extent that it sheds light on the present.” More recently, Stefano Fenoaltea (2018) mourned what he saw as the loss of respect for the field of cliometrics. Abramitzky and Fenoaltea represent contemporary scholars who identified dark shadows encroaching upon economic historians.
