The Black Land, Pennsylvania Anthracite Coal Region

In 1999 Ed Dougert began The Black Land project, a photographic journey to capture the legacy of anthracite coal mining in the Northeast Pennsylvania Region. The project would take Dougert to obscure places whos austere landscapes and broken buildings contain the last remnants of an industry that fueled the industrial age in America and influenced all aspects of life in this region. This exhibit represents a collection of  Dougert's photographs from nearly 25 years of documentation and interpretation.
