Five Farms: Stories From American Farm Families photographs, 2008

http://library.duke.edu/rubenstein/findingaids/cdsfivefarms/

The Center for Documentary Studies is a center at Duke University established for the study of the documentary process. Five Farms was a documentary and oral history project carried out by five U.S. photographers in 2008. The twenty-five photographic prints in the Five Farms: Stories From American Farm Families collection form part of an oral history and photography project carried out under the auspices of the Center for Documentary Studies in 2008. Beginning in March 2008, photographers Alix Lowrey Blair, Andrew Lewis, Tom Rankin, Elena Rue, and Steve Schapiro, along with oral historians, each visited an American farm to document the farm families' experiences and stories over the course of a year. The prints in this collection reflect the photographers' work. The locations for the Five Farms series include: a dairy farm in western Massachusetts, a diversified farm in central Iowa, a hog farm in eastern North Carolina, an organic farm in California's Capay Valley, and a family farm on the Hopi Reservation in northeastern Arizona. The images portray farmers and family members, farm workers, farm animals, and landscapes. Acquired by the Archive of Documentary Arts at Duke University.
