"Between 1936 and 1937, documentary photographer Lewis Wickes Hine traveled to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to photograph housing and industrial conditions. In a series of forty-nine photographs, Hine captured, at least in part, Lancaster in the 1930s. The National Research Project on Reemployment Opportunities and Recent Changes in Industrial Techniques, a Works Progress Administration (WPA) agency, hired Hine in 1936 to travel across the country to document industrial technology and employment...In his Lancaster photographs, Hine captured the working conditions at the Hamilton Watch Company and the wide variety of Lancaster's housing options, from farmhouses to housing for industiral workers and squatter communities. These photographs, when analyzed alongisde maps of the time, reveal the extent of segreation in Lancaster City, and the reality that although the Great Depression did not devastate Lancaster, the national economic tragedy still impacted this industrial and agricultural city."
