The image above is my groups poster.

The analysis process of my group wasn't good at first because we were all going to do separate sources, but then we realized that we would get much better result if we all collaborated together on one source at a time. Our analysis process was an essential part of curating because if my group didn't really analyze the sources we wouldn't get the same detailed results.  Our exhibit displayed the horrid conditions during the industrialization period. The map of industry in the 19th century showed how rapid the industrialization was taking place. The maps shows where factories produced raw materials. In the source "View of Manchester" it shows the visitors to the exhibit how much the factories polluted the air and water. The water was even noted as brown and murky. The source that has earnings and cost of living will show the visitor how poorly the factories paid the workers. In three different sections of years the factory workers were being paid less than the cost of living. In the source that talks about the different views of English industrialization, people who experienced it first hand explained how terrible the factories are the be around and in. In the "Filth of Thanes" a person who was on a steamboat did an experiment by dropping things in the water and said they were indistinguishable after a few inches since the water is so polluted. The last source on the poster was of Dudley street. This source shows how bad the living conditions were. The fact that the workers had to put their shoes outside their house because there wasn't a room to put dirty items would be shocking to the visitor to the exhibit. My group came up with the title by thinking about the two major things, the conditions and the prosperity of the people, that stood out from the sources we analyzed. We incorporated these into a title.

In this exhibit I saw children working heavy machinery. I learned that in 1818 fifty percent of the workers in the factories were ten years old or less.

In this exhibit I saw in the chart that the textile mills in Lowell were rapidly growing. I learned that because of the demand for raw cotton in Britain cause a huge increase of U.S. slaves to pick and process cotton.

In this exhibit I saw the difference between the spinning wheel and the spinning jenny. I learned that the families depended on the fathers wage because the no longer need for the household spinning wheel.

In this exhibit I saw that the steam engine design was simple but people still found it amazing. I learned that between 1760 and 1800 canals in England and Wales were connected for goods to be transported.
