Facing Change: Documenting America (FCDA) is proud to announce
a multi-faceted collaboration with the Library of Congress to archive and publish our
photographs and stories of the American people.

The Library’s Press Release:

The Library of Congress under construction, Washington DC, 1890.

Progress towards completion: 1893.

Completed in 1894, the Library has expanded and grown in the more than hundred years since.

The Library’s vision is long-term and historical. These images of its construction are both beautiful and intrinsic to its, and our, mission. We look forward to the work we will create together.

Foundation, Leica Camera, France Télévisions, and Photoshelter. Individuals interested
