With the help of volunteers from around the world, the museum recently transcribed an 1897 journal that chronicles daily life in Pennsylvania coal country. Learn more about the journal and its influence on American Enterprise on the museum's blog, browse the journal yourself on the Smithsonian Transcription Center's website, or check out curator Peter Liebhold's public Q&A about the museum's expansive mining history collections... American Enterprise chronicles the tumultuous interaction of capitalism and democracy that resulted in the continual remaking of American business-and American life. Visitors are immersed in the dramatic arc of labor, power, wealth, success, and failure in America in an 8,000-square-foot space focused on the role of business and innovation from the mid-1700s to the present.
