So the LoC has started posting their archives on flickr. Here's some gems I plucked after just looking around for a few minutes:







Great New Deal era stuff.

Yeah, this stuff is great.

Lots of wonderful pictures of Coney Island.
Rob Gordon
This is fantastic stuff.

Wondering...are these images public domain?

That's really good to hear. Could use these images in all sorts of marketing, promoting, advertising ways.

At first I thought that was a screencap from Godfather I. That's a really cool photo.

The color in these photographs are stunning, especially given that they are 60-70 years old.

I should have captioned these photos, this is a grocery in Lincoln, NE.

Wow. Thanks for posting the link.
biggie mcsmalls
Every picture is fascinating in one way or another.
Binko
WOW.

God DAMN there are a lot of great photos on that site.

Thanks for the heads-up. There's certainly a lot of inspiration there. I kinda wish they had even bigger scans available.
