The second volume in the Handbook of American Business History
series, this book offers concise histories of extractive,
manufacturing, and service industries as well as extensive
bibliographic essays pointing to the leading sources on each
industry and bibliographic checklists. Supplementing other
bibliographic materials in business history, this volume provides
researchers with a much needed path through the vast array of
material available in the library and on the Internet. Indicating
which resources to check and which to bypass, the book is a guide
to a sometimes overwhelming amount of information. Each of the
book's chapters provides a concise industry history, beginning with
the industry's rise to importance in the U.S. and continuing to the
present. The bibliographic essays provide a narrative outline of
the leading sources published or made available in archives,
libraries, or museum collections since 1971, when Lovett's American
Economic and Business History Information Sources was published.
Each discussion concludes with a bibliographic checklist of the
titles mentioned in the essay as well as other titles. In a rapidly
expanding information society, researchers, teachers, and students
may be easily overwhelmed by the exhaustive material available in
print and electronically. What is useful and what can be ignored is
a strategic question, and few know where to begin. This book
provides a guide.
