NEP is an announcement service that filters information on new additions to Research Papers in Economics (RePEc) into edited reports; many BHC members are familiar with the list edited by Bernardo Batiz-Lazo of the University of Leicester, who aggregates the subset of papers in Business, Economic, and Financial History (NEP-HIS). He has now created a NEP-HIS blog, in which he chooses one paper from among recent listings as a topic for discussion. The current paper is "Multinational Strategies and Developing Countries in Historical Perspective," by Geoffrey Jones of the Harvard Business School.
The Princeton University Library has digitized a number of posters from the Interborough Rapid Transit Subway Company . The posters, designed by the public relations firm Ivy Lee, were displayed in subway cars to provide information to riders about changes in fares and routes, safety issues, and other matters of interest. The collection consists of 385 images dating from 1918 to 1932; many of them provide financial information about rates, company dividends, and a general look at an early rapid transit system. October 29, update: Jonathan Rees over at "More or Less Bunk" was moved by this post to go off in search of a better site, and found the massive collection of the London Transport Museum , which displays over 5,000 items in a searchable collection .
