A fascinating look at past human and physical environments can be viewed at the USDA's agricultural photo history site. Most of the photographs on display in this section were taken between 1937 and 1943 with some of the photos dating back to the 1800s. Thousands of black and white photos exist for agriculture, business, community, domestic scenes, education, government, landscapes, machinery, portraiture, and transportation. The "Portraiture" section is especially revealing, capturing the human toll of the Dust Bowl era.
