American Business History Center - Free Books

[Pallas_Boreas]

At the American Business History Center, we continually seek new sources of information on business history.  We have put a lot of links to other history websites on our links page.

 A little over a year ago, we dug up and uploaded 125 old business history books and government reports.  The week of August 20, 2021, we added hundreds more books, but have not listed or described the new additions below.  However, you can browse through all of them, read them, and hopefully be able to download them directly from this link.  The files include more recent annual reports and a diversity of business information sources, old and new.

 These resources are great ways to see where your grandparents worked, if a factory existed in your hometown, which company owned the factory, where the railroads ran, ads for art inspiration or marketing ideas, or just the pure joy of nostalgia.
