The mission of the This is America! Foundation is to create a vast, comprehensive, and eminently accessible nationwide visual study of the United States in the early 21st Century. This entire body of work is donated, copyright-free to the Library of Congress producing more than 100,000 highest-resolution digital photographs from every state and many U.S. territories, their built environments, landscapes, and human interactions. This Is America! Foundation expeditions by acclaimed visual documentarian Carol M. Highsmith are producing the first comprehensive visual study of the entire nation since the documentation of the Depression and Dust Bowl era by Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, and their Farm Security Administration colleagues more than three generations ago.
