Documerica Location Challenge: Coal City, West Virginia
Thanks to Documerica photographer Jack Corn the people, working conditions and environment in Coal City, West Virginia, were well documented in time in 1974.
Now, the challenge is on YOU if you live in that area or plan to travel to it. What looks different? What remains the same?
See if you can match up the exact image, to compare what nearly 40 years later looks like!
Share your photos here. We can’t wait to see our world as you see it!
Not in West Virginia? See how close Documerica came to home and and send in your own ‘Then-Now’ match up!

Great job on this! You made something that is usually pretty confusing very simple and easy to understand. I LOVE your tutorials!
