This website is a project of the Invention Factory and funded by a New Jersey Council for the Humanities Grant. It is an amazing resource for those interested in learning more about Roebling, the wire company he founded, and the projects they were involved in. It includes both primary and secondary resources. Among their primary source collection are interviews from the people who worked in the wire-rope factory in Trenton and documents written by the Roebling family. "The Story of Roebling" contributed helpful background knowledge to this lesson.
