About this website
How to get the best view
This site contains a gallery exhibit of photographs by D. Gorton, with brief explanations about the images. His illustrated proposal was written for a grant from the Illinois Humanities Council. The proposal lays out his thinking in making the photographic portfolio shown here.
Jane Adams' lecture, illustrated with images from the portfolio, derives from her 20 years of ethnographic and historical research on Illinois and U.S. farming. It sets the exhibit in its historical and cultural context.
Two short videos and a bibliography, and a site map complete the work.
You can click on many of the images to view them in larger size and get further information.
We gratefully acknowledge the support we received for the photographic exhibit from the Southern Illinois University Museum and the Illinois Humanities Council.
