Orphan Train Slide Collection

<p>The Orphan Train Slide Collection contains one box with a script, log sheets, and 240 slides with movie stills from "The End of the Line, Orphan Trains," a documentary produced by Wendy Hearn. The film tells the story of homeless youths from Eastern United States cities who were resettled on farms in the Midwest. Charles Loring Brace, founder of the Children's Aid Society, conceived of the idea of sending abandoned children to farm families in the Midwest for foster care, as an alternative to institutionalization. Thus started the Orphan Train Movement that operated from 1854 to 1929, and relocated about 200,000 children. The slides in this collection are dated 1986-1988 and the documentary was released in 1991. Most subjects are unidentifed.</p>

《孤儿列车幻灯片收藏》中包含一个装有剧本、日志表格以及240张电影截图幻灯片的盒子，这些截图来自由Wendy Hearn制作的纪录片《线的尽头，孤儿列车》。该纪录片讲述了来自美国东部城市无家可归的青年被重新安置在中部地区的农场的故事。儿童援助协会的创始人查尔斯·洛林·布拉泽（Charles Loring Brace）构想出将弃儿送往中部地区的农场家庭进行寄养，以此作为机构化养育的替代方案。由此开启了从1854年至1929年运行的孤儿列车运动，并迁移了大约20万名儿童。本收藏中的幻灯片日期为1986至1988年，而该纪录片于1991年发行。大多数主题人物身份不明确。
