Life and Labor in a Corporate Community: An On-Line History of the Endicott Johnson Corporation is a WWW exhibit that examines the history of one of America's largest shoe and leather manufacturing firms. In addition—and more significantly -- it explores in detail the paternalistic practices of the Endicott Johnson Corporation from the late 19th century through the 1960s. The firm was a pioneer in a business reform movement that has come to be known as "Welfare Capitalism." The exhibit is based on the work of Prof. Gerald Zahavi and documentary filmmaker Brian D. Mauriello—who graciously contributed some of the graphic images and video clips that make up the WWW exhibit. The exhibit will be installed in stages.
