          5. His searing photos of child labor practices helped bring about legislation to end child labor in the US.

          Hine's output was enormous. Much of it is available in raw form at the Library of Congress collection(from which most of Hine's photos posted on this blog will be drawn).

          Many web resources focusing on Hine exist.

          Two good ones are the Lewis Hine Projectand a New York Times feature.
