International Harvester Glass Negative Series, 1900-1939


International Harvester Glass Negative Series, 1900-1939 at the WHS. "...A century ago, the International Harvester Company was the largest farm equipment manufacturer in the world. It had 10,000 dealerships around the U.S. selling everything from tractors to baling twine. Staff in several corporate departments created photographs for many purpose, and these images flowed into a central file that eventually numbered 12,000 glass-plate negatives. Society staff have recently digitized more than 500 of them and will expand the online collection for months to come. The International Harvester glass negatives are the topic of this month's image gallery at Wisconsin Historical Images."
