Color Photos of Depression

While this is an economics blog and not a history blog, the two are not exclusive. Example, teaching about the Great Depression (which gets a lot of notice these days). The Denver Post has a good collection of color photos from the Depression. They really make the period come alive. While the images themselves may not have the same feeling of desperation as the more iconic pictures, the details in the color photos are amazing. Also, a key point to remember about the Depressions is that, like now, not everyone was in a soup line or living in a Hooverville.
