Web. 20 Feb. 2014. <http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/trianglefire/primary/photosIllustrations/index.html?sec_id=2>.The images contained in this album touched my heart and it is obvious that the city of New York was in much grief after the fire. The album included pictures of gravestones, rallies done by those looking for justice, and other symbolic and meaningful commemorations. I used these photos under the 'Grievance and Remembrance' page of my website. "LOT 10855." Library of Congress. Library of Congress, n.d.

Some of the cartoons in this album pondered on what individual was responsible for the fire, while others stressed the fact that if the Asch Building had not been approved by New York, the disaster never would have happened.

Each of the personalities presented in these interviews were unique, yet all of them shared a similar story. I used multiple quotes from these interviews throughout my website which allowed my readers to gain a more accurate perspective of what the survivors experienced.

In these photos I was able to see the faces of those who worked in sweatshops and sympathized with them for the hardships that they faced in their life. These photos also revealed the small garment scraps and clutter that would eventually serve as the perfect tinder for a fire trap.
