The Hearl Maxwell Collection and Mining in the United States

9627
The Hearl Maxwell Collection is a corpus of documents revolving around mining unions that were present in the Pittsburg, Kansas area; particularly, it included the greater area around Pittsburg, including Mulberry, Arma, and beyond. The collection includes letters, postcards, booklets, and correspondence between union leaders of the coal mining industry of the area.

Hearl Maxwell was majorly involved in the coal mining industry during the early twentieth century, and he is at the center of the collection. A full and detailed description of the collection can be found here.






This particular exhibit project will be focusing on a small portion of the collection, but the previous link provides full access for further information.
