EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Laundry facilities at Westley camp for migratory labor, San Joaquin Valley, California, 1938," captures a scene of daily life during the Great Depression era in the United States. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, this image was produced during her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI). The photograph shows a simple yet functional laundry facility located within the Westley camp, a settlement for migratory laborers in the San Joaquin Valley of California. The scene is filled with a sense of community and shared struggle as women of diverse backgrounds gather to wash their clothes in large, communal sinks. The sinks, lined up in a row, are filled with soapy water, while clothes hang on lines nearby to dry. The laundry facilities served an essential purpose in providing basic amenities for the laborers, ensuring their health and hygiene during this economically challenging time. The image also highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of the community, as they came together to create a shared space to address a common need. This photograph is an important historical document, providing a glimpse into the living conditions of migratory laborers during the Great Depression. It is a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by many Americans during this period and the importance of community and shared resources in times of hardship. The image is part of the Dorothea Lange Collection in the Library of Congress, and it continues to be an influential work in the history of documentary photography and American social history.
