The Photographs of John Vachon
50 evocative images selected from Vachon's work in the Library of Congress's collection.
John Vachon’s America
From 1936 to 1943, John Vachon traveled across America as part of the Farm Security Administration photography project, documenting the desperate world of the Great Depression and also the efforts at resistance—from strikes to stoic determination. This collection, the first to feature Vachon's work, offers a stirring and elegant record of this extraordinary photographer's vision and of America's land and people as the country moved from the depths of the Depression to the dramatic mobilization for World War II.

Hope in Hard Times
Arthur Rothstein, Russell Lee, John Vachon, and Marion Post Wolcott became some of the United States' best-known photographers through their pictures of Depression-era America. Their assignment, as one of their associates described it, was to have "a long look at the whole vast, complicated rural U.S. landscape with all that was built on it and all those who built and wrecked and worked in it and bore kids and dragged them up and played games and paraded and picnicked and suffered and died and were buried in it." In Montana the four photographers traveled to forty of the state's fifty-six counties, creating a rich record of the many facets of the Depression and recovery: rural and urban, agr...

Photographs by a team of photographers who traveled across the United States documenting America's experience of the Great Depression and World War II.
To The City
In the 1930s and 1940s, as the United States moved from a rural to an urban nation, the pull of the city was irrepressible. This book showcases over 100 photographs from the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project along with extracts from the Works Progress Administration (WPA) guidebooks, to convey the detail of that transformation.
Ground
An artful selection of photographs commissioned by the FSA but 'killed' by Roy Stryker with some fantastic accompanying text.
