"The captions are John White's own, written some time after he took his photographs. In some cases White used virtually the same caption for several images.

These images are available from the National Archives at College Park, MD. A NARA identification number appears at the end of each caption. Descriptions of the largest DOCUMERICA series are available in the NAIL database."
