As we transition into winter and the temperatures begin to drop, we wanted to give our community a list of photo books that will keep you busy indoors. We hope this list will inspire you to remain creative while inside and provide you with additional ways to continue educating yourselves on the history of photography and archives. With work from artists including Dorothea Lange, Weegee, and LaToya Ruby Frazier, these photo books explore themes of social awareness and identity.

Be sure to check out the opening of the latest Kamoinge exhibition, “Working Together: The Photographers of the Kamoinge Workshop,” on display from November 21st, 2020 through March 28th, 2021 at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
