Microfiche shelved alphabetically by region: Farwest, General
USA/Canada and
North America/Puerto Rico & Virgin Islands, Midwest, Northwest,
Northeast,
South, Southwest. 87,677 selected
photographs reproduced from the collections of the Library of Congress
Prints
and Photographs Division. The most famous are from the Farm Security
Administration project in the mid-1930s, representing some of the
earliest and best
examples of the use of photography as social documentation. Eleven
photographers, among them Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Russell Lee,
Marion
Post Wolcott and Arthur Rothstein, provided images of the effects of
drought
and displacement on rural populations in order to make known the extent
of the
social crisis and thus justify the expenditure of federal funds on
relief
programs. The images were used in periodicals and books, the resources
available before the advent of television, and were sent around the
nation on
exhibition. They are still used today, and reproductions are still
available
inexpensively from the originals housed in the Library of Congress. Not
only
are these photographs examples of some of the finest artistic
photography of
the era, but they provide original source material for researchers in
American
history, vernacular architecture and material culture, cultural
geography,
sociology, and rural studies.
