Correspondence and operative reports also provide some documentation of union activities and working conditions at other Fulton Bag mills, including those in St. Louis, Brooklyn, Dallas, and New Orleans., The Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills Exhibit is a joint project between the Georgia Tech Library and Information Center's Archives and Records Management, Digital Initiatives, and Systems departments.
