ICONS OF AN ERA: PHOTOS AS HISTORICAL EVIDENCE

Mary Jane Appel
Mary Jane Appel

Mary Jane Appel is a photographic historian who has worked with image collections in archival and curatorial capacities at the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian institution, and Texas State University.

“In 1998, early in my museum and archives career, I joined the team at the Library of Congress that digitized the Farm Security Administration Collection, giving me a unique introduction to the collection. After a few months, I started to recognize each photographer’s individual style, how they approached their assignments, and how their images worked together to create a record of America at that time,” Ms. Appel explained.

Drawing on how that research experience resulted in her new book Russell Lee: A Photographer’s Life and Legacy, she will discuss:
         * How and why the particular talent of photographer Russell Lee stood out as a member of the FSA team.
         *Details of Lee’s biography.
         * Highlights from Lee’s vast contribution of 19,000 photographs to the FSA documentary project.
