Migrant agricultural worker’s family. Seven children without food. Mother aged thirty-two. Father is a native Californian. Nipomo, California. By Dorothea Lange, March 1936<\/em><\/p>\n

The photographs in the collection were taken between 1935 and 1943, as part of a project to document federal aid programmes during the Great Depression. This original project was the brainchild of the Farm Security Administration (FSA).<\/p>\n

The photographs were digitised by the Library of Congress. Yale’s Photogrammar project is centred around creating new ways to search through them.<\/p>\n

The site allows for searching through the collection by photographer, by lot number, by classification tags, by location or by year.<\/p>\n

It also includes an interactive map of the United States, with dots marking where each photograph was taken. This too can be sorted by photographer.<\/p>\n

The collection includes images from famous photographers of the Depression era, including Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans. A search for photographs by Dorothea Lange throws up more than 3200 results.<\/p>\n
