Colorado, Then and Now
Documerica Returns has made it’s way to the Rockies! For the next month, the Traveling Exhibit will be based out of EPA Region 8.
The exhibit debuted at the Colorado Environmental Film Festival and will be making various stops in and around Denver, CO.
We invite you to stay tuned for upcoming Exhibit stops and to join the effort to match area Documerica scenes if you live nearby. As always, you can find Documerica photos to match near you, anywhere in the United States, by following this easy guide.
Documerica and Colorado
Share what Colorado looks like today for State of the Environment. Below, we have highlighted a few historical photos for fun. This modern version of Documerica, is about what you see happening in our lives and environment today.
Take it up a notch by matching these (perhaps not the Volkswagen scene) or other Documerica images from Colorado as they exist today. Let us know which scene you matched in your photo description and we’ll give it added attention as part of the Documerica Then and Now Challenge.
