Description: The Republic Steel Corporation Collection (MSS 192) consists of 13,000 black and white photographic negatives, 2,000 color photographic negatives, and many 35 mm slides which document Republic Steel Corporation’s main production facilities and its subsidiaries, 1941-1975. This collection also includes images of social events such as company picnics, award banquets, and dances. Founded in 1899, Republic Iron and Steel Company was a steel production company based in Youngstown, Ohio, and the result of a consolidation of 34 steel mills across the United States including the Mahoning Valley’s Brown Bonnell Iron Company, Andrews Brothers and Company, and Mahoning Iron Company. From 1927-1937, Republic Iron and Steel Company expanded its reach by acquiring a number of other companies such as Trumbull Steel Company in Warren, Ohio, and Central Alloy Steel Corporation in Canton, Ohio. With its expansion, Republic Iron and Steel Company became the third largest steel producer in the United States behind United States Steel Corporation and Bethlehem Steel Company, and changed its name to Republic Steel Corporation to reflect its new status. After the outbreak of World War II in 1941, the Corporation’s production increased by 33%. This increased production continued into the 1950s and 1960s as the company continued to be one of the leading developers of steel production technology. Due to a myriad of factors including decreased demand for steel from automobile manufacturers and imported foreign steel, steel sales declined and in 1984 the Republic Steel Corporation was purchased by LTV Corporation, which led to the closure of the Youngstown plant. LTV filed for bankruptcy in December 2000. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This photograph depicts the construction of a new separator for a blast furnace. Blast furnaces are used to smelt iron ore with coke to produce pig iron. This is the first step of steel production that occurs at mills. Air is forced into the bottom of the furnace, supporting the combustion, and giving the furnace its "blast" name. This photograph belongs to the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Audiovisual Archives, so its subject is likely located at a Youngstown company plant. View on Ohio Memory.

The top middle of the paper has artwork of a woman in a plain white dress, with her arms outstretched at her sides. She holds two wreaths and is wearing a small red cap. Behind her head is a shield with an American parotitic theme. In front of her legs is a grey bald eagle with its wings stretch out sideways. The eagle's mouth holds a blue sash with "E Pluribus Unum" written on it. The eagle stands on two American flags crossed over each other. There is a green branch with leaves in the eagle's left talon. There are weapons and a shield under the eagle. Behind the woman and the eagle are soldiers in blue uniforms.

The left and right edges of the paper have military officer's busts surrounded by green wreaths, with seven men on either side of the vertical stone columns. The middle of the paper has two officers surrounded by green wreaths. They are in front of two white sheets with one golden tassel hanging on each sheet. the sheets hang down and end at the middle of the stone columns. Green branches are coming out of the white sheets and wrap around the stone columns twice. The two branches have two different types of leaves, with the left being a rounded oak leaf complete with sparse acorns, and the right being a more pointed leaf with red berries. The branches intertwine with themselves at the middle of the stone columns. Towards the bottom middle of the page are two thin red, white, and blue poles that lead to the bottom of the page. Two American flags drape over the bottom of the stone columns. View on Ohio Memory.
