This document presents a collection of images from the 19th and 20th centuries depicting technological progress and advancement. Many of the images were created in the late 19th century and showcased new technologies like trains, telegraphs, and industry representing American progress. Later images from the 1950s-60s focus on new machinery, industrial processes, and computing representing continued technological determinism and faith in science and innovation improving society. The collection demonstrates an ideological belief in technology inevitably bettering society through industrialization and mechanization as depicted in popular culture over 100 years.
