Farm Security Administration photography collection

The Farm Security Administration (FSA) photography collection is a collection of powerful images taken between 1935 and 1944 during the Great Depression. These photographs document rural America, showcasing the struggles of farmers, sharecroppers, and displaced families, as well as the efforts of the New Deal to improve their lives. Taken by notable photographers like Dorothea Lange and Gordon Parks, the collection aims to raise awareness and inspire policy changes by providing honest, impactful visual stories of hardship and resilience in rural communities.
