Our Photographic Collections Catalogers Ellis Martin and Natalie Weiner cataloged 8,000 objects, updated the records for another 12,000 objects, and generated 20,000 images for Lange’s archive, allowing OMCA greater ability to share this coveted collection more broadly online with our upcoming Dorothea Lange Digital Archive. We sat down with Martin to talk about the digitization process, as well as the importance of making these photographs accessible online.
The Dorothea Lange Collection Project is supported by a generous grant from the Henry Luce Foundation.

Ken Light
“[Dorothea Lange] represents the humanist vision in photography. [Her work] talks to income inequality and the lives of people who are left out of the economy, which continues to this day.”
Dorothea Lange was driven by the belief that seeing the effects of injustice could provoke reform and, just perhaps, change the world. Learn how contemporary photographer Ken Light is influenced by Lange’s artistic vision and enduring legacy. See photographs by Lange and Light on view now in Dorothea Lange: Politics of Seeing.
