Click the link below to view some stunning color photographs of life in America from 1939-1943. The photographs are the property of the Library of Congress and were included in a 2006 exhibit, Bound for Glory: America in Color.

These images, by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, are some of the only color photographs taken of the effects of the Depression on America’s rural and small town populations.

Here is the link from the Denver Post freaturing 70 of the time capsules...

What a treasure! Most of these would not have the same impact if they were in black & white. Thanks for sharing!

I posted but it did not show. Great great photos. I spent a few weeks hanging out at the building in the Brockton Ma photo. The Dillon MT building is still there, my Son and I had dinner there just two months ago. Thanks so much fun
