#1 Re Todays Photograph - Some of the entries in the beauty contest 7/4/1946 - This primary source comes from the Records of the Solid Fuels Administration for War.
National Archives Identifier: 540478
Full Citation: 245-MS-540L; Some of the entries in the beauty contest; 7/4/1946; Photographs of the Medical Survey of the Bituminous Coal Industry, 1946–1947; Records of the Solid Fuels Administration for War, Record Group 245; National Archives at College Park, College Park, MD - Original Caption: "Some of the entries in the beauty contest. Price is center of coal mining activities for Utah. Price, Carbon County, Utah."

In 1946, noted photographer Russell Lee was hired by the Solid Fuels Administration for War, a Federal agency, to take photographs for a survey of medical, health and housing conditions in coal communities around the country.

Located in remote areas and patrolled by mine company guards during times of labor unrest, coal communities were normally inaccessible to outsiders. But government seizure of the mines from private operators gave Lee an unprecedented view into coal fields from Pennsylvania to Wyoming.

Russell Lee took more than 2,000 photographs of the miners in their homes, workplaces, and communities.
