National Child Labor Committee Collection | The Library of Congress
Founded in 1904, the NCLC set out on a mission of "promoting the rights, awareness, dignity, well-being and education of children and youth as they relate to work and working." Starting in 1908, the Committee hired Lewis W. Hine (1874-1940) to carry out investigative and photographic work. The more than 5,100 photographic prints and 355 glass negatives together with the often extensive captions that describe the photo subjects, offers a detailed depiction of working and living conditions of many children--and adults--in the United States between 1908 and 1924.
