Dorothea Lange used her camera to capture life in America during the Great Depression. Best known for her work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), Lange documented the lives of sharecroppers, migrant workers, and displaced families during the 1930s. Her images brought national attention to communities that were often overlooked and helped shape the future of documentary photography. Today, NYPL holds about 40,000 photographs from the FSA collection, taken during the 1930s and 1940s by Lange and other photographers.

🐻 On August 21, 1921, Christopher Robin Milne received a teddy bear for his first birthday. That bear would become the inspiration for the world-famous Winnie-the-Pooh character. The real Pooh took up residence at NYPL in 1987!
