	The New Deal Farm Security Administration in the Lower Mississippi Delta: Reading the Photographic Record by Jane Adams D. Gorton
	Russell Lee took a series of photos of one black family as they were preparing to move from Transylvania in January 1939. It is not obvious that the disparate photos were taken in the same homestead, of the same people, because they are scattered through his coverage of Transylvania. When ordered by their call numbers, they are separated by other photos from Transylvania, as well as photos from Laurel, Mississippi, Chicot Farms, Arkansas, Jerome, Arkansas, Westlaco, Texas. The photos are arranged in call number order on this page. To make things even more confusing, the .jpg file number on the Library of Congress FSA/OWI site does not correspond to the LOC call number. When studied carefully, these photos can be seen to be photos of one unnamed family.
