Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information (FSA/OWI) Collection: Subject Index Information

Classification Number Listing

This subject index presents the categories that the OWI and, later, the Library of Congress used to make it possible to browse the FSA/OWI photographs by what they depict. The agency used a decimal number classification scheme. This section of the subject index provides access to segments of the classification number listing, which in turn, reproduce the order in which the original photographic prints are filed: by classification number. For more information, view the introduction to this list.
