The Gilded Age and Progressive Era

Abstract

Adam Matthew Digital's historical, primary source‐focused platform, The Gilded Age and Progressive Era (TGAAPE), can support interdisciplinary studies across academia, including any research that may make use of historic documents relating to gender studies, business, urban development/planning, social work, philanthropy and development, literary studies, architecture, and political science. It also includes high-quality contextualizing secondary materials to facilitate student learning and pedagogical opportunities. Highlights of the collections include the materials of William M. Tweed (Boss Tweed); unpublished documents from Edith Wharton; insightful and biting political cartoons by Thomas Nast and Joseph Keppler; correspondence from the Rockefeller and Astor families; and corporate records from the railway, steel, and oil industries.
