Tomorrow morning I will be heading up to the UP so I can look through Northern Michigan University's archives. That is where the company records of the Cleveland-Cliffs Company are held. I am quite excited to look through many documents regarding the paternalism shown by the company and how all attempts of labor reforms failed.
Something that will prove helpful is the archivist I will be meeting. After e-mailing him my scope of research and what I was looking for he responded with great news. He has a compilation of records that help in my research and even sent me some research he has done. He has spoken at a conference on the very subject I will be focusing on and will help me prove my thesis. I will be updating my blog quite a bit these next few days because this is where most of my research will be taking place.
