EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "CENSUS RECORDING, 1937" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases a member of the Social Security board diligently capturing Census data under the watchful eye of Census Bureau Director William L. Austin. The scene unfolds within the confines of an early 20th-century office space, bathed in soft natural light that gently illuminates the room's interior. Amidst stacks of books and paperwork lies a busy worker, focused on his task at hand. With precision and expertise, he operates a camera-like machine that records vital information onto microfilm. This photograph not only captures the essence of hard work but also symbolizes technological advancements during this era. As part of President Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives, which aimed to alleviate economic hardships caused by the Great Depression, this innovative recording method was employed to streamline census processes. Intriguingly framed by Granger Art on Demand, this historical snapshot offers viewers a glimpse into America's past—a time when dedicated individuals like these men worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to shape our nation's future through accurate data collection for social security purposes.
