Last year we mentioned Syracuse University Library's "Plastics" collection. The library has recently launched a newly redesigned and expanded version of the website, which now offers approximately 3,000 objects with high-quality photographs,
information about plastic materials and processes, and twice the
previous number of biographies and company histories. In addition to the resources just listed, one can also find essays on specific topics, such as "Racism, Stereotype, and Plastic Product Premiums." Viewers can now submit additional information about objects,
people, and companies through the site.
Dear subscribers to The Exchange: I am happy to announce that our blog is moving platforms. For almost a decade, the Business History Conference has used Blogger to publish and archive posts. However, in early 2021, the blogging site announced that their email serving service would be terminated. In addition, we noticed that many of our subscribers had stopped receiving the blog’s emails, and our subscription provides very limited reporting. In agreement, the Electronic Media Oversight Committee , web administrator Shane Hamilton, and web editor Paula de la Cruz-Fernández decided to move our web blog from Blogger to our website . We now write to you to request that if you wish to continue receiving announcements from the BHC, please subscribe here: https://thebhc.org/subscribe-exchange Interested people will be asked to log into their BHC’s account or open one, free.
