History of the Great Depression CD

Over 1,500+ high-resolution photographs and 7 early films covering all aspects of the historic Great Depression on CD-Rom! The photos are categorized into 8 easy to navigate sections including Children, Mothers, and Family, Miscellaneous, Makeshift Homes, Market Crash, Migrants, Migrant Workers, Soup Kitchens and the Unemployed. In the early years, the photographs emphasize rural life and the negative impact of the Great Depression, farm mechanization, and the Dust Bowl.

Some of the most famous images here portray people who were displaced from farms and migrated West or to industrial cities in search of work. In the later years, the photographs are more focused on the mobilization effort for World War II and portray aircraft manufacturing, military training, and the nation's railroads. The majority of this photographic collection is in b & w while a few of the photographs are in full color.

These vintage photos of the Great Depression are a true work of art and the finest collection available on the economic crisis of early America. All pictures are fully printable from the CD and are suitable for framing! They are all scans from the authentic originals and are of the highest quality. This CD is a great visual reference and study guide for any historical buff or educational student alike.
