Lewis Hine Collection
Educated at the University of Chicago, Columbia University and New York University, Lewis Hine (1874-1940) was a sociologist, and photographer. Hine focused his photographic work on macro public issues to foster social and political reform. Hine's many projects include work on immigration at Ellis Island, child labor, the construction of the Empire State Building and the economic and social impact of the Great Depression. The project includes a selection of photographs Mr. Hine captured.
Child Labor Series
Lewis Hine became a staff photographer for the National Child Labor Committee and traveled across much of the southern and eastern states documenting the working conditions of factories, fields, mines, mills and canneries which made use of child labor. The results of Hine's photographic pursuits eventually led to the establishment of child labor and safety laws for all workers.'[1]
