The photographs of the Farm Security Administration and the Office of War Information in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress, fully captioned and arranged by region and by subject.

'It seemed important to record the incredible events of those years, and the best way was to photograph them.'
Rexford Tugwell, Director, Farm Security Administration

The Farm Security Administration photographic collection is one of the most famous in the world, its images depicting living and working conditions in urban, suburban and rural America during the depths of the Depression and the outbreak of World War II. Yet the collection as a whole is barely known with public awareness based on a handful of photographs reproduced time and again.

Publication on microfiche of the 87,000 FSA photographs in the Library of Congress together with a printed Guide/Subject Index makes the collection genuinely accessible allowing researchers to scan through thousands of photographs going immediately to the regions and subjects that interest them.
