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.

I am an author, historian and photographer. I am currently searching for, and interviewing descendants of child laborers who were photographed by Lewis Hine from 1908 to 1917. You can see more about my Lewis Hine Project at my website: www.morningsonmaplestreet.com
