Alfred A. Bolton, Papers regarding History of Management and Other Material
Collection
Collection Number: A&M 3735
Papers of Alfred A. Bolton, a professor specializing in the field of management history. He completed a dissertation that retrospectively analyzed the historically influential Hawthorne Studies that had been conducted at the Western Electric Hawthorne Works in Chicago from 1927-1932, of which he later wrote and lectured. The collection includes photocopies of original Hawthorne Studies records and related research material, copies of articles by Bolton, and video tapes related to management theory, history, and practice, among other material. There are also glass cutting tools that he inherited, or perhaps used as a journeyman glass cutter in Clarksburg, West Virginia.
