Power and Light Exhibit 💡

Immerse yourself in the Power & Light exhibit, a profound exploration of the coal miner’s life in 1946 America through the compassionate lens of Russell Lee. A master of documentary photography, Lee was tasked with an extraordinary project following labor strikes—a nationwide survey capturing the essence of remote coal communities. His photos, over 200 of which are featured in our #ArchivesPowerAndLight exhibit, shed light on the rich tapestry of everyday moments against the backdrop of a pivotal time in labor history.

Beyond documenting the gritty realities of coal mining, Lee's photographs celebrate the strength, resilience, and unity of the families that powered these communities. From pride in their homes to solidarity in the mines, every image narrates a story woven into the broader American saga.

Lee, a notable figure among the greats like Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange, believed in the power of photography to create social change. He carried his camera through 13 states, into the homes and lives of those who toiled beneath the earth, and emerged with more than just images—he captured stories that continue to resonate with us today.

This exhibit invites you to traverse time and experience the power and light within this historical archive. Witness the intimate and candid moments Lee immortalized and see the enduring legacy of his work at the National Archives.

other artists have made a point of being like "stop saying you hate the pairing but like the art. it's annoying and still insulting" which is fair, but honestly every single time that's happened to me that person eventually came back to say they like them unironically now so. it doesn't even annoy me anymore, lol. oh, so you normally hate this ship? that's nice do tell me more. ignore the crosshair btw

Tango and Jimmy don't even need a shipname we should just tag them as "a canary and his coalmine" because I think that is the cutest thing they've been referred to as and I don't think it can get much cuter

The banners went up today for our new exhibit!

“Power & Light: Russell Lee’s Coal Survey” features more than 200 of Russell Lee’s photographs of coal miners and their families.

The man on the banner is Harry Fain, who was working as a coal loader for Inland Steel Company in Wheelwright, Kentucky, in 1946. He and his family appear in photographs throughout the exhibit.

“Power & Light” is free and opens to the public on March 16 in the Lawrence F. O’Brien Gallery in the National Archives Building in Washington, DC.

Visit museum.archives.gov for details.

I'm very puzzled by the artifacts that Gerard found in the spider lair, because I can only identify the fairy tale influence for two of them:

The Hood of Rushes. Clearly from the fairy tale Cap-o'-Rushes, where an exhiled princess hides her fine clothes under a garment made of rushes. Probably helps with stealth? Or maybe it grants Disguise Self?

The Golden Bridle. Golden bridles have very good fairy tale pedigree. Some kelpie's appear wearing a golden bridle, and if you manage to get it, you can control the kelpie. It also frequently shows up in stories that feature other transformed, magical or exceptional horses that you must either exclusively or never put on a golden bridle, like in Tsarevitch Ivan, the Firebird and the Gray Wolf. Perhaps it grants a boost to animal handling? Or it could belong to a Phantom Steed?

But for these I don't know:

The Sword of Truth. Brennan has already said this isn't from a specific story but just an "archetypcal fairy tale sword", but I'm really wracking my brain for his inspiration. I'd call it an archetypal fantasy sword. I don't know many fairy tales where a specific sword holds magic power. And the only sword to do with truth I know of is the blade "Fragarach" from Irish Mythology, which apparantly could make anyone tell the truth, but I haven't found the source material for that...

The Black Velvet Cloak with Stars. I have no idea if this is supposed to refer to something. Brennan described it as having stars embroidered on the inside of the cloak, so perhaps it has something to do with hiding light or carrying the night with you, but I really don't know. Very vexing

Cerrillos Coal Company began mining in Madrid around 1835. It was Coal Gulch before it was Madrid. They built the entire town, including a 6.5 mile standard gauge railroad spur connecting the community to the main line of the Santa Fe Railroad by 1892. The town produced 250,000 tons of coal a year at its peak, with a population larger than Albuquerque.
