- catalog abstract "The two albums contain 153 black and white photographs that depict the company-owned houses and other buildings provided by twelve member companies of the Alabama Mining Institute in 1922 and 1923. The photographs show houses, schools, churches, boarding houses, commissaries, and other buildings in Alabama coal mining towns. Each set of photographs depicts the separate houses, schools, and other facilities that each company provided for its white workers and for its African American workers. The photographs were apparently created at the behest of the United States Coal Commission, a federal agency charged by Congress in 1922 and 1923 to investigate the coal industry and its labor problems.".

- catalog description "During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, many coal industry companies provided employee housing and services near the mines. These company towns allowed ownership a certain amount of control over its labor. The Alabama company towns owned by the members of the Alabama Mining Institute, an organization of coal mining companies, were carefully segregated by race. These segregated towns had separate houses, schools, churches, and other facilities for white and black workers and their families. The emergence of the affordable automobile and a reliable highway system led to the decline of the company town system by the 1930s.".
