About This Blog

Welcome! On the US National Archives Exhibits blog, we are sharing items related to the Archives’ current exhibition “Searching for the Seventies: the DOCUMERICA Photography Project.”  DOCUMERICA, a 1971-1977 Environmental Protection Agency project accumulated more than 21,000 images.  Come here to discover a new one each day.

Send your questions, comments, and observations while in the exhibit, at work, on your couch, or—better yet—exploring the built or natural environment. Our virtual docents will lead you on a tour of this fascinating glimpse into the 1970s.
