Photograph of workmen sorting and stacking animal hides that are being processed at an old tannery in Salem, Massachusetts. The hides are tanned into leather and dyed at the tannery. The industrial process requires much heat and the factory is filled with steam and water vapor. Tanning was a significant industry on the North Shore when the area supported many factories to make shoes and other leather goods. Photograph by Nathan Benn taken October 30, 1978.
