Cornell University - ILR School - The Triangle Factory Fire - Introduction

Triangle Company's fire in New York took the lives of 146 young migrant workers and was one of the most serious disasters since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

This event is very important for today as it highlights the inhumane working conditions that industrial workers may suffer. For many people, that horror is typical of industrialism.

There is still a tragedy in the collective memory of domestic and foreign labor movements. Victims of tragedy are still known as industrial greed martyrs

The online exhibition shows the triangular fire source and second hand documents held by Cornell University Library. They are located in Kheel Labor Management Documentation and Archive Center of Cornell University Industry and Labor Relations Graduate School. The rare book collection of Cornell University Library also contributed to the exhibition. You will find the original document, dictation history and photos. You can read by listening to the direct information of survivors.
