Political cartoon: How soon forgetten? The following list of names is made available in response to the many inquiries the Kheel Center receives concerning the identity of people involved in the Triangle Shirtwaist Company Fire. The names of the dead and wounded were taken mostly from issues of the New York Times (NYT), published in the few days following the tragedy, and from Leon Stein’s book Triangle Fire.

A new list of victims is available from David Von Drehle, author of Triangle: The Fire That Changed America, published in 2003. Please direct all questions relating to Mr. Von Drehle's list to the author.

The Kheel Center does not have any other information regarding the people listed below. We do encourage you to offer updates or corrections about victims and survivors to help us keep this list as current as possible. Thank you.
