The Progressive Era through PhotographsPhotography emerged as a form of technology, communication, and art during the mid-1800s. By time the 20th century began, there were thousands of photographers across the United States. Photography helps to bring history alive, and therefore is an important part of the study of American history from the 20th century. There are thousands of photographs available from the Progressive Era (the period from 1900-1920 characterized as a time featuring reactions to the great changes that had occurred in America during the late 19th century due to industrialization, urbanization, and immigration ). In the last few years, many of these photographs have been digitized, so now you can access them online. In this activity, we will be examining the vast and rich collection of photographs that exist on the Internet. ●First, you will be learning how to analyze photographs to find out the story behind the image. ●Then, you will be examining the databases, archives, websites, and collections that have been located for you. ●Finally, you will be creating an exhibit of photographs that touch on at least three major themes of the Progressive Era, analyzing the photographs to explain what they have to tell about the Progressive Era.Let’s begin: ●Go to the following link, Picturing Modern America (http://www.edc.org/CCT/PMA/). This website features some exercises that will help us to learn how to analyze photographs. ●Click on “Image Detective”. On this page, look for the bubble that says “See How a Scholar Investigates an Image” and click on that. Follow those links. ●After you have seen how a scholar examines a photograph, go back to the main page for “Image Detective” and click on any picture to begin. You will be looking at a photograph, posing a question about what is going on in the picture, gathering clues, examining background information and drawing a conclusion. You must do this for at least 4 different pictures on the “Image Detective” main page. ●Write a brief summary about what you learned about each image. (3 to 5 sentences)Image 1:Image 2:Image 3:Image 4:Now that you have learned about some of the ways in which historians analyze historical photographs to learn about the past, you will be doing the same thing.
