The revised and expanded web page for syllabi and reading lists in business and economic history (mentioned here a few weeks ago) has now been uploaded on the BHC site. Our call for syllabi did not result in many responses (though we heartily thank those who did send in materials); however, quite a large number of syllabi are available on the Web and indexed by search engines. We therefore collated and organized the results of numerous searches to produce the new BHC site. We are of course eager to expand the listings, and we encourage those of you who have not yet sent in materials to do so.
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 .
