So if i understand correctly--these are not your photographs?
I am almost 100 percent certain i've seen this photo somewhere around here on dA with no mention of their being archive images.

Not my photographs. As indicated in the artist's comments, the whole gallery is of pictures taken for the United States government in the lat 30's early 40's essentially during the great depression. They are in the public domain.
