The Debate Over Child Labor
BIBLIOGRAPHY

There was a quote we used from the book that best summed up what Child Labor was for, so we used it to support why child labor should be stopped. "Photographers educated the public about the existence of these conditions in the years 1890 to 1910, and images such as [the] one [taken by Lewis Hine] helped create the popular awareness behind the political and economic reforms of this period."
"Child Labor in America: Investigative Photos of Lewis Hine." The History Place. 1998. Web. 29 Nov. 2010. <http://www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/childlabor/>.
Photographs taken by Lewis Hine were exemplary because it gave Child Labor a face and that face was not condoned by much of the public. We used his photographs to illisutrate that point.

Statistics are important because numbers support the content details and the thesis itself to better prove our point that Child Labor did spark a debate, the statistics taken from this site proves it.

Ruth Holland was a Child Labor abolishment advocate. She was one of the main people, other than Hine, who wanted to get Child Labor some public attention.

A story by Helen Campbell tells of Child Labor in New York around the same time frame (1892).

Again, we have more statistics and facts to show how child labor is affecting, not only the U.S. but the world as well.

We used this website’s timeline to help
determine the basis of our timeline, using the different dates to guide us in
the different periods of the industrial revolution. We also used the picture of
the women on strike for our gallery. This source was important to our website
because it was basic information in the development of the debate of child
labor.
"BLS Publications." U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics. Web. 31 Jan. 2011.
<http://www.bls.gov/opub/>.
We
used this website to help add to our timeline. The information from the pdf
source http://www.bls.gov/opub/rylf/pdf/chapter2.pdf gave us more information in the downfall of child labor. It
helped us learn about the legislature and the different laws that were enacted
in order to decrease child labor.
"Child Labor in the
US." Stopchildlabor. Web. 29 Nov. 2010.
<http://www.stopchildlabor.org/USchildlabor/fact1.htm>.
This website gave us a good idea of what is considered child
labor today. There is a list that shows what is illegal for children below 16
years of age to do as work. The list helped us have a general idea of what
children would be doing if there was no controversy over child labor, and we
used this list in our statistics tab.

We used the timeline on this website to add to the one we
have on our project. The Department of Workforce Development helped us find the
different laws that determined the decrease in child labor. The information
gained was about the laws the legislature created.

This article was used as an example of how child labor is
still used today. Even though it usually isn't seen in the U.S. anymore, other
countries rely on it a lot. But this controversy was a great example because an
American based company did not know that its international factories were using
child labor. The contrasting issues are what made this a great example.

This picture was used to advertise the NCLC, and we used
this picture to represent the NCLC on our website. This was also a great
secondary source because it gave the most basic idea of what the NCLC was
fighting for. The picture in the shape of the United States shows just how much
of a hardship it was for children during this time. It represents the old
saying “a picture is worth a thousand words”.
"Keating-Owen Act." Spartacus

This website served as a secondary source because it was a
basic summary of the Keating-Owen Act. It gave a short explanation of what the
Keating-Owen act was created for, and what happened to it. This short
explanation helped us understand this period of time and some excerpts from
this website were used on our website as well.
"Lewis Hine Project." MORNINGS
ON MAPLE STREET. Web. 29 Nov. 2010.
<http://www.morningsonmaplestreet.com/lewishine.html>.
This website was a basic place for our information on Lewis
Hine. He was mostly known for the pictures he had done to help the National
Child Labor Committee fight against child labor. This showed us some of his
greatest masterpieces, which was useful in getting an idea of the kinds of
situations of child labor that he looked for.
"Lewis Hine." Spartacus
Educational - Home Page. Web. 15 Dec. 2010.
<http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/IRhine.htm>.
This website was most
useful in learning about Lewis Hine as a person. The section about Lewis Hine
on our website has many quotes pulled from this website, which is what makes up
our summary of Lewis Hine. This website helped us to know who Lewis Hine was as
a person and advocate of NCLC, and it helped with our further research since we
knew what to look for about him.
"National
Child Labor Committee: About Us." National Child Labor Committee. National Child Labor Committee. Web. 15 Dec. 2010. <http://www.nationalchildlabor.org/>.
Because
this is the actual website of the National Child Labor Committee, it was easy
to find the exact information we need on the committee. This “about us” tab was
what gave us our key information to explain exactly what the committee is
about. The website gave us dates and statistical information about this
committee, which helped us to pair up the committee with what was actually
happening with child labor during that time period, and it also gave a great
summary of the goals of the committee.
