This week, we’re highlighting scenes from Georgia nearly forty years ago. Live nearby? Send in your best shots for a chance to be in a larger exhibit at the U.S. National Archives in Washington D.C. from March – September of 2013. Be sure to let us know which Documerica scene inspired you.
Through the end of 2013, you can submit your best shots of original Documerica scenes from any of these location challenges to State of the Environment on Flickr.
