Images Of The ’70s

2010 June 29

When I look at images from the 1970s, they often look like portents of a very near future. The EPA has an extensive collection of images that would make great inspiration for designers.

For the Documerica Project (1971-1977), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hired freelance photographers to capture images relating to environmental problems, EPA activities, and everyday life in the 1970s. The U.S. National Archives digitized more than 15,000 photographs from the series Documerica (Local ID 412-DA) and included them in our online catalog. Our Web site has quick catalog search links for featured DOCUMERICA topics, locations, and photographers.

    That “font” looks a little like it came from the diner era (50s). I like the picture, though.
