CUSTOM RESEARCH EXHIBITS

Using a company’s history as a leadership tool has shown to be creative and effective in instances of special events, mergers and anniversary commemorations. As a leader strives to get people working together more productively, communicating the history of the enterprise can instill a sense of identity and purpose and suggest the goals that will resonate.

A shared history is a large part of what binds individuals into a community and imbues a group with a distinct identity. A history with a narrative thread also helps people understand what is happening around them. Discovering or rediscovering the story, picking up the thread, reminding ourselves where we stand, where we have been and where we are going – these are as important for groups as for individuals.

During the Industrial Revolution of the 1800s, many families were living in impoverished conditions around the country. Children, as young as 5 years old, often had to work alongside their parents for long hours and lower wages. (Click photos for more information.) After an influx of opportunity-seeking immigrants in the 1840s brought more children to America for labor, the problem got worse. These families were used to hard work, hard times and children "earning their keep."
