Illustrated throughout w/ b&w documentary photographs by George Harvan. Octavo. Oral histories of northeastern Pennsylvania's anthracite coal region after the postwar mine closings, compiled by labor historian Thomas Dublin from interviews across the Panther Valley communities. Ships from the USA, quickly & w/care. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: When the Mines Closed: Stories of Struggles in Hard Times documents the economic and social transformation of northeastern Pennsylvania's anthracite coal region across the mid-twentieth century. Bancroft Prize-winning labor historian Thomas Dublin compiles detailed oral histories from former coal miners, garment factory workers, and family members residing throughout the Panther Valley communities of Lansford, Coaldale, and Nesquehoning. Narratives examine post-World War II colliery shutdowns, subsequent employment migration, the expansion of regional textile and garment manufacturing, and the preservation of enduring working-class traditions amid persistent industrial decline. Presented in a trade paperback format under the Cornell Paperbacks imprint, the work incorporates extensive documentary photography by photojournalist George Harvan. Full-page and in-text monochrome photographs illustrate underground coal seams, towering colliery breakers, union labor gatherings, garment factory floors, and domestic community life in Carbon and Schuylkill counties. Academic cartography, historical overviews, and structured thematic chapters ground each personal testimony in broader economic and sociopolitical frameworks. Published by Cornell University Press in Ithaca, New York, the volume represents a notable contribution to Appalachian and Mid-Atlantic regional labor studies. Dublin's rigorous fieldwork preserves primary-source accounts of twentieth-century American deindustrialization, documenting the transition of coal communities as traditional heavy industry gave way to decentralized light manufacturing. Scholars, regional historians, and labor researchers reference the text for its integration of qualitative oral testimony and historical documentary photography. George Harvan (illustratore).…

This exhibition was held at the Wilson Gallery, Alumni Memorial Building of Leigh University. George Harvan was the son of a Slovak-born mine. Harvan spent over 50 years recording the work and community life of the last generation of underground miners in the anthracite region of northeastern Pennsylvania. After serving as a still photographer for the 5th Army Air Corps during WWII, Harvan became a media consultant for Bethlehem Steel and a freelance photographer for the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company. For over forty years, the author has documented the dangerous lives and indomitable spirit of he anthracite miners of Eastern Pennsylvania. His muse, so to speak, has been Lanscoal No. 9, a mine in his native Lansford that opened for business in 1855, and was miner-run from 1960 until its death in 1972. Working for the company, for himself and for history, Harvan has created a narrative as gritty and as mysterious as the work itself. Coal Miners of Panther Valley is a photographic tribute to the last generation of underground coal miners in the Panther Valley of Pennsylvania's anthracite region. The images depict the miners at work in the harsh, gritty, often-dangerous environment of the mines, yet at the same time they show the pride that miners took in their profession. Harvan's camera also captured the miners at rest at the end of the work day and the sadness brought about by the closing of the mines. Each image is a vision of power and pathos, taken by an award-winning photographer who shared the miners' lives underground. Curator Ricardo Viera's interview with Harvan is included. An essay by Professor Thomas Dublin of SUNY Binghamton places the photographs in their historical context. An essay by Harvan, "Witness to a Closing," records his thoughts on the closing of the mines.…
