In 120 exquisitely reproduced black and white images, this book showcases the work of twelve commissioned photographers who sought to capture the essence of the state and its people at the threshold of the new millennium. Like the Farm Security Administration photographers of the Great Depression era, these men and women document the details of life in out time and the transformations now taking place in our state. This work is a product of the Minnesota 2000 Photo Documentation Project, a three-year effort that also produced an archival collection of 360 images and a museum exhibition at the Minnesota Historical Society.
