This collection is from Martin Stupich’s two 1977 survey grants from the National Endowment for the Arts to document transportation in Atlanta. The images in the first grant documented the development of Atlanta’s rapid transit system (MARTA) from 1977-1978. Photographs from the second grant (1979-1981) illustrate Atlanta’s role as a center of transportation.
