A fantastic site created by Cornell University.
quote: This site includes selected information on a terrible and unnecessary tragedy involving the death of many young working women in a New York City sweatshop at the beginning of the 20th century and the resulting investigations and reforms. You will find original documents, oral histories, and photographs. You can hear and read first-hand accounts by survivors and others that will provide a glimpse into the lives of workers and a sense of the horrors of a factory fire that claimed the lives of 146 young workers.

Rasputina have a really good song about the triangle shirtwaist fire.

Incidentally, William Greider and Naomi Klein have both drawn parallels to the large Kader fire in, if memory serves, Thailand.
