Little known color images from the 1930's and 40's

Bound for Glory: America in Color is the first major exhibition of the little known color images taken by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information. These vivid scenes and portraits capture the effects of the Depression on America's rural and small town populations, the nation's subsequent economic recovery and industrial growth, and the country's great mobilization for World War II.

Really interesting stuff. The color makes them look contemporary in a way - makes that period of time seem more concrete.
