Untitled photo, possibly related to: Young mother, aged twenty-two, has one little girl three years old. Merrill, Klamath County, Oregon. In mobile unit of FSA (Farm Security Administration) camp. New baby expected in December. During this year she has worked with her husband in: strawberries (Helvetia, Oregon); cherries (Salem, Oregon); beans (West Stayton, Oregon); hops (Independence, Oregon). Is now in potato pickers' camp at the end of that season. "We haven't got a cent now and we've lost our car because we've helped some people out. It seems like it's taken every cent to eat off, that and traveling around."

1. The image is a black-and-white photograph depicting an indoor scene. A woman with short hair, wearing a polka-dotted dress and white shoes, sits on a wooden crate beside another young child sitting in her lap. The older girl wears pigtails and appears to be looking off into the distance. In front of them, there is a small table cluttered with various items such as books or papers, dishes, jars, bottles, bowls, and possibly cooking utensils. To their right stands an open trunk filled with clothes on top, revealing more packed belongings inside. The ceiling has exposed rafters, suggesting a makeshift shelter. The image carries the text "3-SPRIS" in one corner and is labeled as part of Dorothea Lange's work associated with her documentation during times of social unrest or crisis; specifically mentioning Oregon potato pickers' camps where families were struggling financially due to various factors including economic hardship. The photograph conveys a sense of poverty, displacement, and resilience through the depiction of daily life within these temporary living conditions for migrant workers in rural America.

1. A black and white photograph showing a family walking along an unpaved road. In the foreground, there is a man in a hat pulling a cart filled with belongings such as clothes and household items while looking down at his shoes. Following him are three women: one pushing a baby buggy containing a young child who appears to be asleep or resting; another woman holding two children by their hands, walking along beside her; the third woman is behind them carrying bags in each hand. The road they're on seems rural with sparse vegetation and trees visible in the background. The sky above looks clear. There are other people seen at a distance further down the same stretch of roadway, suggesting that this might be part of a larger movement or exodus taking place during what appears to be difficult times for many families across America. According to additional information provided about this image: "Family walking on highway, five children. Started from Idabel, Oklahoma. Bound for Krebs, Oklahoma. Pittsburg County, Oklahoma. In 1936 the father farmed on thirds and fourths at Eagleton, McCurtain County, Oklahoma. Was taken sick with pneumonia and lost farm. Unable to get work on Work Prjects i.e. Projects Administration and refused county relief in county of fifteen years residence because of temporary residence in another county after his illness."

1. The black and white photograph captures a moment featuring an elderly woman standing in front of a wooden structure, possibly a barn or farmhouse. She is gesturing with her right hand extended outward while holding something small between her fingers on the palm of her left hand. The woman appears to be wearing simple clothing; a light-colored dress with dark accents and what seems like suspenders at the shoulders. In the background, partially visible behind the elderly woman, stands a young child who is observing her actions or words attentively. Both individuals seem engaged in an interaction that could involve storytelling or instruction of some sort. The setting suggests a rural environment, consistent with sharecropping practices as mentioned in the context provided by "Grandmother of sharecropper family near Cleveland, Mississippi." The image evokes a sense of historical documentation and personal connection to daily life during a time when such agricultural economies were prevalent across America's southern regions.

1. The image is a black and white photograph depicting an old rural setting. In the foreground, there are two wooden structures that appear to be houses or sheds with gabled roofs. One of them has its roof exposed, showing beams underneath, suggesting it may have been damaged or demolished in part. Behind these buildings, rows of clothes hang on lines strung between poles and trees, indicating a domestic scene where laundry is being air-dried outside. The yard around the houses appears unkempt with overgrown grasses and weeds visible near one side. In the background stands a dense forest composed primarily of coniferous trees like pine or cedar. This suggests that the location could be in a temperate climate zone known for such forests, possibly indicative of an American West Coast region given the reference to Western Washington State. The image is marked with 'E-81205' on its right side, likely indicating it as part of a larger collection or archive. The photo seems historical and could be documenting life during a time when works projects administration workers lived in company houses that were previously associated with an industrial setting like a mill.

Untitled photo, possibly related to: Migrant family from Oklahoma in Texas. A family of six alongside the road. An example of how they fall between the relief agencies. The father, aged thirty-five, is an intelligent fellow, a painter by trade. Advanced tuberculosis, victim of an occupational disease. Ineligible for WPA (Works Progress Administration), rated as totally disabled. As a state charge under Oklahoma relief standards, the family were told the maximum relief would be seven dollars every two weeks. They lost their home, their furniture, took to the road a year ago and when the photographs were made they were found to be without money, shelter, and without food for the four children

1. A black-and-white photograph depicting a family of six, including two adults and three young children. They are sitting in the shade under trees beside an old-fashioned Model T Ford car parked on what appears to be dirt ground with grassy fields stretching into the distance behind them. The setting seems rural or semi-rural. The man is standing between the tree trunk and a large barrel, while leaning against it for support as he holds his young child in one arm and has an older boy sitting on his hip. A woman sits beside him; she's wearing a long-sleeved shirt with puffy sleeves typical of early 20th-century fashion and is holding her younger daughter who appears to be around four years old. The two children seated on the ground are looking at something outside of the frame, possibly another child or an activity. The older girl seems to wear a dress that reaches below her knees while the boy beside her wears shorts and sneakers; both appear casual in clothing appropriate for outdoor activities. There's a sense of hardship as they have various items scattered around them including what seem like bowls on the ground next to their vehicle, suggesting they may be preparing food or just finished eating. It gives an impression that this family might be traveling with limited resources at a time when relief programs were in place due to economic difficulties. The image is annotated by text which suggests it captures a migrant f [...]

Native Texan farmer on relief. Goodliet, Hardeman County, Texas. "Tractored out" in late 1937. Now living in town, and on the verge of relief. Wife and two children. "Well, I know I've got to make a move but I don't know where to. I can stay off relief until the first of the year. After that I don't know. I've eat up two cows and a pair of horses this past year. Neither drink nor gamble, so I must have eat'n 'em up. I've got left two horses and two cows and some farm tools. Owe a grocery bill. If had gradutated land tax on big farms, that would put the little man back again. One man had six renters last year. Kept one. Of the five, one went to Oklahoma, one got a farm south of town and three got no place. They're on WPA (Works Progress Administration). Another man put fifteen families off this year. Another had twenty-eight renters and now has two. In the Progressive Farmer it said that relief had spoiled the renters so they had to get tractors. But them men that's doing the talking for the community is the big landowners. They got money to go to Washington. That's what keeps us from writing. A letter I would write would sound silly up there."

1. The image is a black and white photograph depicting a man sitting on the ground in front of a wooden structure, which appears to be part of a farm building. The man looks contemplative as he holds something small between his fingers with both hands. He wears rolled-up sleeves, has stubble on his face, and sports a disheveled hairstyle. His clothing consists of what seems like overalls or work clothes, indicating that he may have been working prior to the moment captured in this photograph. In front of him is a straw hat lying on the ground, suggesting it might be hot outside. The wooden structure behind him appears weathered and shows signs of wear, which could imply rural living conditions during difficult times for farmers or workers. There's also some handwritten text visible next to the image that reads "Native Texan farmer on relief," indicating that this photograph was taken in Texas at a time when agricultural laborers were likely struggling economically. The overall atmosphere conveyed by the photo suggests hardship and introspection, as well as highlighting the struggles of rural American families during challenging times.

1. The image is a black and white photograph depicting three young boys standing in an outdoor setting, possibly on farmland or grassland. The boy furthest to the right holds a long object that could be a tool such as a rake or shovel, suggesting they might be involved in agricultural work. All three boys are dressed similarly with overalls; however, one wears suspenders and another has a cap, which adds variety to their appearance. They appear content and somewhat proud of themselves, standing upright with confident postures while smiling at the camera. The backdrop consists of an open field or plain with sparse vegetation under what appears to be clear skies. The boys' overalls are slightly disheveled, indicating that they might have been working before being photographed. There is a timestamp on the image which reads "12-40 58," possibly denoting a date from December of an unspecified year and another digit for additional information or context within that month.

1. The image depicts a group of migrant farm workers harvesting carrots in the Imperial Valley, California. The black and white photograph captures several individuals engaged in pulling out carrot plants from rows on an agricultural field. They are seen bending over and picking up bundles of freshly harvested carrots which lay scattered around them on the ground. In addition to the people working diligently, there is a crate or basket visible near one of the workers that could be used for collecting collected produce during their workday. The setting appears dry with sparse vegetation in the background, indicative of an arid landscape typical of this region known as California's agricultural powerhouse where crops like carrots are grown. The photograph seems to reflect a moment from history when migrant labor played a crucial role in America’s agriculture sector. It evokes a sense of communal effort and contributes to understanding historical aspects related to migratory farm workers' experiences during that era.

1. This black-and-white photograph captures a moment in the lives of agricultural workers from an earlier era. The scene depicts five individuals, likely male based on their attire and physical builds, working together on what appears to be a carrot field or similar crop. They are dressed in work clothes suitable for manual labor, with hats providing sun protection. The group is standing among rows of crops that have been partially harvested, as indicated by the presence of crates filled with produce ready for transport. The workers seem engaged in different tasks; some stand holding wooden crates while others sit on a crate or crouch down to work directly within the field. In the background, another worker can be seen further along one of the rows. The landscape is barren and lacks any significant vegetation beyond the crops being cultivated. There are no modern farming tools visible, suggesting that this photograph was taken during an earlier period when manual labor dominated agricultural practices in such settings. The image evokes a sense of historical context regarding rural work environments and the conditions faced by those who toiled in agriculture.

1. The image depicts a large-scale agricultural scene with numerous individuals working in the fields. They appear to be engaged in planting or harvesting crops, specifically carrots as suggested by the caption provided. The workers are spread out across several rows of cultivated land, and some have tools such as hoes for tilling the soil. In the background, there is a vast expanse of farmland extending into the distance under a clear sky with faint cloud formations visible in one part of it. There's also evidence of urban development further away from where the workers are located, indicating proximity to towns or cities. The overall atmosphere suggests an era when agricultural labor was more commonly employed on large-scale farms. The black and white color scheme implies that this image is historical, possibly dating back several decades given its style and composition. It reflects a time of manual labor in agriculture during which gangs of workers were used for tasks such as cleaning or tying crops like carrots before they reached the market.

1. The image depicts a group of agricultural workers engaged in manual labor on a farm field. They are seen kneeling and bending over as they work, with many using tools such as hoes or pitchforks to tend the soil. Several wooden crates can be spotted around them, likely used for collecting produce. This black-and-white photograph captures a historical moment where large-scale agriculture was prevalent, particularly in regions like California's Imperial Valley. It is part of Dorothea Lange's collection from Near Meloland and features gang labor comprising both Mexican and white workers from the Southwestern United States. The task shown here involves pulling, cleaning, tying, and crating carrots destined for Eastern markets. The image highlights the challenging conditions faced by these agricultural laborers, with many earning as little as eleven cents per crate of forty-eight bunches of carrots. It reflects on the heavy oversupply of labor in agriculture during that period along with high competition among workers seeking employment opportunities within this sector.

1. The image depicts two men sitting inside the cabin of what appears to be an old-fashioned farm vehicle or tractor. The man on the left is wearing a wide-brimmed hat, glasses, and a striped shirt with rolled-up sleeves. He has his legs crossed at the knees and seems focused on something in his hand, possibly holding a piece of paper or some tools. The second man is seated beside him, dressed similarly but without any distinct accessories like a hat. Both men appear to be middle-aged farmers, wearing practical work clothes suitable for field labor. They are surrounded by metal panels with visible rivets and signs of wear, suggesting the vehicle has been used extensively. In terms of context, this image might relate to agricultural history or rural life in Texas during a time when farming was challenging due to crop failures. The caption suggests that these men were part of migratory laborers who traveled across states for seasonal work opportunities.

1. The photograph displays a vintage black and white storefront sign for "White & Pollard" on an old brick building. The top section of the image reads, 'SOLD' in large block letters, indicating that this business has closed down or is no longer operational at its current location. Below it, prominently featured are two signs: one stating 'GROCERY,' and another with a bold declaration saying "I AM AN AMERICAN." The setting suggests a historical context of American identity during the early to mid-20th century when such signage was common for small businesses. In the reflection on the glass below these signs, we can see images from adjacent stores or other establishments. A sign reading 'FRUITS AND VEGETABLES' is partially visible in this reflection, hinting at a neighboring business that sold produce. The reflections also show partial views of buildings and possibly more signage outside of immediate focus. The image carries an air of nostalgia and historical significance, potentially reflecting on themes such as migration, assimilation, or the social environment during the period when it was taken. This could evoke discussions about immigration policies in America at that time, including experiences with exclusionary practices like internment camps for Japanese Americans during World War II. The additional information provided from Closed Japanese American store suggests this image might be part of a series documenting s [...]

1. This black and white photograph depicts a group of people gathered around an older model passenger bus. The scene appears to be on the street, as indicated by the sidewalk in view, with some individuals seated or standing near the open door of the bus. The majority of those present are wearing hats indicative of mid-20th-century fashion, and several carry suitcases and personal belongings. This suggests that they might be embarking on a journey or returning from one. The expressions range from contemplative to engaged as if in conversation with each other. In the foreground is an elderly man standing alone near another individual holding what appears to be a map or document. In contrast, others stand around more animatedly conversing and gesturing towards various directions of travel. The bus itself has visible text on its side which reads "INTERSTATE BUS CO," indicating it was likely part of a larger transportation network during that era. The number 1906 is marked near the top front end, possibly denoting either the model or route identification for the vehicle. Overall, this image captures a moment in time with rich historical context and evokes emotions associated with travel, transition, and social interaction among individuals within their community from an earlier period of American history.

1. The black and white photograph depicts a group of people standing outside wooden farm buildings with laundry hanging from lines strung between them. The clothes are spread across several lines, suggesting that the family is drying their garments in an outdoor setting. In front of these structures, there's what appears to be rows of crops or garden plots filled with plants showing signs of growth but not fully developed. These cultivated beds extend into a field where more foliage can be seen growing densely. The group consists of several adults and children. Some are standing near the buildings while others stand in smaller groups further away from these structures, hinting at different family units within this larger gathering. There is an air of casual informality to their positioning as they appear engaged with one another or perhaps waiting for something outside of the frame. There's a sense of rural life and simplicity conveyed through the wooden architecture of the buildings, open field surroundings, and absence of modern amenities in sight. The image may have historical significance given its depiction of family living amid agricultural activity possibly during an earlier time period when such settings were more common than they are today due to urbanization trends. In terms of context provided by additional information from Japanese American family prior mass removal: This photograph was captured before the [...]

1. The black and white photograph depicts a group of individuals, including both adults and children, gathered outside what appears to be temporary living quarters. The setting suggests a situation that might involve displacement or transitionary housing. In the foreground, there is an older man seated on a makeshift chair made from wooden planks tied together with string. He wears a white shirt, dark pants, and work boots, suggesting manual labor activity in his past. His expression seems contemplative as he holds a piece of paper or document. Behind him stands a woman dressed in practical attire, seemingly engaged in conversation with another individual seated on the porchway steps of a barracks-style structure labeled "APT. 3." She appears attentive and possibly offering assistance or support to the person she is conversing with. On either side of this central figure are additional individuals who seem related by family ties. A woman leans against the wall, her posture relaxed yet engaged in observation; beside her stands another adult, partially obscured from view but contributing to the overall narrative of a community coping within these circumstances. The surrounding environment includes various objects indicative of resourcefulness and adaptation: brooms leaning on walls or structures, discarded materials suggesting repurposing for makeshift furniture. The scene conveys resilience amid hardship as well as human co [...]

1. This black and white photograph depicts a man squatting on the ground with his arms crossed in front of him. He is wearing a wide-brimmed hat, which shades his face from direct sunlight, and appears to be smiling at the camera. The setting seems rural or semi-rural; there are small plants growing directly into what looks like soil, suggesting he may be working on some sort of farmstead or garden plot. In the background, we can see a line of white-painted wooden structures that resemble fence posts with attached wires strung between them and possibly extending beyond our view. There's also an open field behind this row which could indicate agricultural activity in general. A backdrop to all these is a range of mountains providing depth to the image. Their snow-capped peaks suggest they might be part of a mountainous region or at least have altitude enough for their tops to retain snow, possibly indicating that it’s not summertime when most such regions would typically see less frost on top due to warmer temperatures. The man's clothing style and the simplicity of his surroundings give an impression of modesty. His hat appears well-worn which suggests he could be someone who regularly performs physical labor outdoors for a living or as part-time farming activities outside regular employment constraints. There are no discernible features that explicitly indicate race, gender, age beyond middle-age years nor any other per [...]

1. The photo depicts a large group of people, mainly men dressed in formal suits and hats, standing in line on an urban street. They are waiting outside what appears to be a public building with decorative architectural elements such as cornices above the windows. Two uniformed individuals stand at the forefront: one is wearing a dark military-style outfit with medals or decorations pinned onto his chest, while the other sports a police-like attire including a peaked cap and possibly badge. They seem to oversee the orderly queue behind them. The street setting includes parked cars on both sides of the sidewalk, which extends along the building's frontage. One vehicle is partially visible at the far left edge; it has "56-392" as its license plate. The architecture suggests a historical context with ornate details and decorative elements around windows and eaves. The overall atmosphere appears orderly but somber, potentially hinting at a significant or mandatory event for those waiting in line.

1. The black and white photograph captures a scene where groups of individuals are seated on sidewalks, surrounded by an abundance of luggage. The people appear to be resting amidst their belongings, which include suitcases, bags, and large bundles wrapped in sacks or burlap covers. In the background stands a bus labeled "SPECIAL," suggesting that these travelers may have been transported there via public transportation. Trees line the street beside where they are seated, providing some respite from what seems to be an outdoor waiting area for passengers with their belongings. The image evokes feelings of displacement and anticipation as it depicts people who might be Japanese Americans during a time when such communities were relocated due to wartime internment policies in United States history. The title "Baggage of Japanese Americans lining the street" provides context that these individuals are likely evacuees, awaiting transport or temporary housing arrangements. The photograph is part of Dorothea Lange's historical collection and highlights her work documenting social issues during various periods of American history. This particular image serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost associated with such internment programs.
