Looking Back at Vermont: Farm Security Administration Photographs in Vermont, 1936-1942

With Nancy Price Graff. This abundantly illustrated talk examines the impact of this famous government project in Vermont. Over seven years, nine photographers working for the Farm Security Administration’s Historical Section visited Vermont to document its rural culture. Each had a unique assignment, and each had a unique way of looking at Vermont. This slide lecture considers some of the 1,600 photographs taken by these artists from the perspective of the times and from the perspective of Vermont’s evolving image.
Nancy Price Graff is an historian who has written widely about Vermont’s history and culture. She is the author, co-author or editor of a dozen books and booklets that examine the state’s past. She was the curator of Middlebury College’s exhibition “Looking Back at Vermont.”
