This exhibition centered on the history of Anacostia from 1608 until shortly after World War II, drawing from the 1970 oral histories interviews with longtime residents. The second exhibition was The Evolution of a Community, Part 2: 1955-Present and was held from September 1, 1972 – December 31, 1972. This exhibition showcased Anacostia's history from 1955 to 1972 and was organized into five major topics: housing, unemployment, education, crime, and drugs. The last exhibition was Anacostia Today: The Evolution of a Community, Part 2: Continued and was held from March 1, 1973 – July 31, 1973. This exhibition was the same exhibition as The Evolution of a Community, Part 2: 1955-Present but brought back for the museum's fifth anniversary and continued its focus on its five major topics.

Type:
Archival materials
Date:
circa 1928-circa 2000

There are images of Finster and his family, artwork, Paradise Garden, exhibitions, openings, and events. Some of the images are annotated by Finster.

Arrangement:
The material in this series are primarily arranged by subject with the photographs of Howard Finster at the beginning, followed by images or artwork, then images used in John Turner's book Howard Finster: Man of Visions. However, prior to the collection's arrival at the archives, the material in this series was roughly grouped by type of medium - such as photographs, slides, and contact sheets - and this manner of arrangement was preserved when it was not possible to sort the images by subject, as was the case when there were large numbers of unsorted slides and negatives.
