Hey Joey,

I hope all is well.

I am not sure if you have seen this but I came across this post on gizmodo about Yale releasing 170,000 photos about Depression era America from 1935-1945.

There are a ridiculous amount of photos from Gloucester, figured maybe some of your readers would find this interesting.

  1. Thank you for directing us to this terrific collection of photos! I didn’t know that the Good Voyage cupolas were white back in the day.

  2. This is really cool. Some of the locations are incorrect (in our area, anyway) but it is easy to figure out the real locations if you know the geography. Thanks for sharing!

  3. Exciting post. Yale received funding to visually map and present the Library of Congress repository in fresh ways.

    Joey put up three FSA posts and GMG readers helped to identify some of the people in the photographs.

    I have not identified the painter on the docks of the Arthur Rothstein photo yet…
