- catalog abstract "The Whitin Machine Works records include correspondence, financial material, labor and payroll records, affiliated business records, administrative records and photographs. The correspondence includes letters written by Whitin Machine Works executives to agents in Southern states and abroad in foreign countries, letters sent by field representatives fitting replacement parts in clients' factories, letters with account information, and correspondence to and from the machine shop. Much of the early correspondence was sent to the machine shop run by John Crane Whitin, a subsidiary arm of the textile manufacturing firm, P. Whitin & Sons. The correspondence details an extremely fast paced textile machine manufacturing firm at the height of the industrial revolution. The letters detail the type of machine parts required for regional textile manufacturing factory operations, advances in machinery innovation, issues with transportation, and cost of parts. The financial records detail the day to day transactions, business dealings of the company and the fiscal health of the firm. Cash books, day books and ledgers contain information on suppliers, customers and the amount of business that occurred on a given day. The tax records include information on real estate and property holdings in Whitinsville and various locations Whitin Machine Works had factory buildings or held taxable property. Whitin Machine Works was heavily invested in the town, it's residents and the surrounding area. Whitin built and rented tenements for its employees, ran a grocery store, provided a doctor, school and library and during the depression eras found odd jobs for it's employees instead of laying them off. Also included are records of the Holyoke Machine Shop, 1860-1864 and Castle Hill Farm, 1887-1888.".
