University of Tennessee at Chattanooga history major Emily Kleiner spent the spring semester curating a public exhibit for the downtown Chattanooga Public Library as part of her internship with Overlooked Materials, a local glass recycling service.<\/p>\n

Early in her internship, Kleiner\u2014who just completed her junior year at UTC\u2014was invited to help curate a portion of the exhibit, \u00a0\u201cGlass from the Past,\u201d<\/strong><\/a> which explores Chattanooga\u2019s early 20th-century history of glass production.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve been doing a lot of research \u2026 a lot of talking to people, building connections and getting a better understanding of Chattanooga,\u201d Kleiner said. \u201cI’m not from here. I moved here (from New Jersey) around five years ago, so it’s very interesting learning about the unique, local history.\u201d<\/p>\n

More than 100 years ago, Chattanooga looked vastly different than the National Park City it is today. The urban landscape was dominated by factories and train stations rather than shops and restaurants, and the early 20th century was a time for industrialization in the old gateway to the Deep South.<\/p>\n

During this time, glass was the standard for storing products from food to medicine, and its production in Chattanooga\u2019s Alton Park factory made the city a leading source for glassware.<\/p>\n

Chattanooga is widely known as the birthplace of Coca-Cola bottling, but fewer people realize the city was also once home to one of the nation\u2019s largest glass manufacturers. For decades, the Chattanooga Glass Company produced tens of millions of bottles each year for Coca-Cola and other major brands, employing hundreds of workers at its Alton Park facility before closing in 1988.<\/p>\n

Now, many of the old factory buildings remain with other businesses taking their place. To Kleiner, recognizing the history of these places is an important part of connecting with the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of these buildings that used to be completely different businesses still stand today,\u201d Kleiner said. \u201cI think people can build a connection like, \u2018This is what that building looked like 100 years ago versus now.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Once labeled the dirtiest city in America, Chattanooga has revitalized itself to become a popular tourist destination for its history and beauty. Exhibits like \u201cGlass from the Past\u201d highlight the importance of preserving the city\u2019s industrial heritage even amid reinvention.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen learning about the past and history, think of it as learning people’s stories. They’re now narratives,\u201d she explained, \u201cand that can be different from other people’s experiences.<\/p>\n

\u201cLearning those perspectives and learning the actual events \u2026 and using that to try to figure out what the narrative is can definitely be very helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n

As someone who has always been fascinated by history, Kleiner said working on \u201cGlass from the Past\u201d has been an exciting learning opportunity. Although she is not sure what she wants to do after graduation, she is more confident in her skills and goals after working on this exhibit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve learned how important it is to talk to people and to build those connections because when you do that, those people can help you out and give lasting advice,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGlass from the Past\u201d is on display on the third floor of the downtown Chattanooga Public Library through June 21. Visitors are invited to learn about the city\u2019s rich industrial past and how it shaped the Chattanooga of today.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is Scenic City and it prides itself on local stuff,\u201d Kleiner said. \u201cI feel like learning that local history can make people feel more a part of the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
