The National Archives exhibit takes a new look at the 1970s using remarkable color photographs taken for the Federal photography project called DOCUMERICA (1971--1977), created by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). DOCUMERICA was born out of the decade's environmental awakening and produced striking photographs of many of that era's environmental problems and achievements. But it also captured the era's trends, fashions, faces, and cultural shifts. The result is an amazing archive and a fascinating portrait of America in the Seventies. The exhibit is located in the Lawrence F. O'Brien Gallery of the National Archives in Washington, DC from March 8, 2013 through September 8, 2013.
