Folk Singing and Dancing has Found a New Home at the South Street Seaport, 06/1973

from U.S. National Archives

Mark in NOVA said:
Can somebody explain why this is part of the National Archives?
The U.S. National Archives said:
Hi Mark in NOVA, In the 1970s, the Environmental Protection Agency commissioned freelance photographers to take photos of the environment, EPA activities, and general life in the United States. This project, called Documerica, took place from 1971-1977, and because they were records of the EPA, the National Archives now has these photos. You can see more interesting Documerica photos in our collection, or if you are particularly inspired, participate in the EPA's current photo project, State of the Environment!

Thanks. It's too bad it wasn't shot using Kodachrome film. The color had deteriorated quite a bit.

Hanna (LOC P&P) said:
Emily Warren Roebling oversaw the completion of the Brooklyn Bridge (known as the East River Bridge) after her husband fell ill. Anyone know what was on her lap when she became the first person to ride across the completed bridge in 1883?
