Article in Smithsonian (online also) Magazine



Take a look at August 2006 Smithsonian which
includes a very interesting article about the loss of the official records
of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911. This article talks about
a researcher looking for those records and the frustration in finding they
were lost but fortunately, he found personal records from the attorney who
defended the owners of factory and then the digitization of those records.
The title of the article is "Trial by Fire" by David Von Drehle pp. 93-98.

Smithsonian Magazine is a government document.
