Web Site Review

America at Work, America at Leisure: Motion Pictures from 1894–1915, http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/awlhtml/awlhome.html. Created and maintained by the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. Reviewed Jan. 2007.

This Web site combines electronic essays and an archive of motion pictures that take as their subject American experiences of work, school, and leisure from 1894–1915.

Although their subjects are mundane, these films make a significant collective impact as they begin to reconstruct a visual landscape of everyday life at the turn of the last century. Because the bulk of these films are products of the medium's first decade, they have much to offer both students of history and students of film.
