Jordan’s Journey

Jordan’s Journey

$25.00

Jordan’s Journey is a genealogical mashup incorporating photography, writing, design, research, and more. Gone are the boring register reports and dry descriptions found in genealogical tomes of old. Jordan’s Journey takes a new approach, fusing together the creative and academic in a way that breathes new life into family history.

The book is a lush, high-quality artist book that will be right at home on coffee tables everywhere. Equal parts genealogical memoir, art photography, and local history, Jordan’s Journey pulls you in with a rich and immersive experience. With more than 75 original photos by the author, as well as over 150 vintage images, Jordan’s Journey invites you on a trip into the rural south of yesteryear.

Additional content, including several short films, was published on the book’s blog.

The book is archived in numerous public collections across the country including the New York Public Library, the University of Georgia, the Saint Louis County Library, and the Dallas Public Library. Consult WorldCat for a copy near you.
