Header cards for FSA/OWI classification number .576

This subject index presents the categories that the OWI and, later, the Library of Congress used to make it possible to browse photographs in the collection by what they depict. The original photographic prints are filed under classification numbers. This section of the list presents in alphabetical order the words associated with the classification numbers under which the photographic prints are filed.

  • The categories and the words used to describe them are products of their era and have not been altered for this presentation.
  • The classification numbers are linked to FSA/OWI descriptions and images in the Prints & Photographs Online Catalog.
  • Not all numbers retrieve descriptions and images, either because the information has not yet been added to the description, or because the originating agency never applied the number to any photographs.
  • For more information, view the introduction to this list.
