About the Photos

Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

Distractions

Lewis Hine must have had an assistant with him for all his group shots -- there are always a few people looking to the photographer's right (especially the women in groups). Having started out as an assistant "holding the light," I had to keep quiet so as not to attract someone's eyes!

[Or it might have been Hine himself. - Dave]
