Captured: America in Color from 1939-1943


These images, by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, are some of the only color photographs taken of the effects of the Depression on America’s rural and small town populations. The photographs are the property of the Library of Congress and were included in a 2006 exhibit Bound for Glory: America in Color.

Pretty amazing photos. I think we've lost a lot of our perspective on that era as it continues to fade into history. :(

Nice, you don't see many color images from that period.

Kodachrome may be gone but those boxes of slides in the closet and the projector that rarely comes out live on....:D I had a scanning project going a few years back and got some of the more memorable ones scanned in before I fizzled out.
