If you wish to continue your exploration of the Connecticut
textile industry, you should find it fairly simple to locate additional
images. A keyword search for “textile” “cotton”
“linen” “silk” “wool” or for terms
like “child labor” will turn up lots of images of these
subjects.
You might also try going to “Browse by Subject”
and looking for the same terms. For example, if you go to “T”
and then to “Textile,” you will find a list that includes
“Textile industry” “Textile machinery” and
“Textile workers.” By clicking on any of these subject
headings you will be able to access all the records and view the
related images.
If you are looking for images of the textile industry
in a particular town, try a refined search for “textile”
and for the town in which you’re interested. Enter “textile”
and select “In any field” from the drop-down menu. Click
on “and,” then enter the name of the town you’re
looking for in next box. Select “Place name” from the
drop-down menu. This search should find all the images relating
to textiles from that town. If the name of your town consists
of more than one word (for example, New Hartford or East Windsor),
be sure to indicate that you want to search for these words “as
a phrase.”
If you are looking for images of the textile industry
from a particular period, you may want to limit your search by
date. Set the search limits before entering your search. You may
select a specific date or a range of dates. To find images from
the nineteenth century, select “range” and enter “1800”
and “1899” in the two boxes. Then go back to the main
search page and construct your search.
