Soon after Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970, the agency recruited a small army of photographers to document the state of the natural environment in the United States. The DOCUMERICA project collected over 20,000 photographs between 1971-1977 and along the way captured the state of American life itself, driving home the connection between the two.
The National Archives has digitized 15,000 of these images, selections of which can be found on Flickr or in their entirety through the Archival Research Catalog.
Your 70’s time machine awaits you…
