There are two exciting developments in online historical images I'd like to share with you.- The Library of Congress now has a Flickr site! They've started uploading some of their amazing historical photos. So far, they have two sets: The 1930s-40s in color and News in the 1910s. Don't forget you can also access other historical images and documents from the American Memory project which is also a part of the Library of Congress.
- Did you know Minnepolis had streetcars? Search "steetcar" in Minnesota Reflections. Here's what's new: the images in the Minnesota Reflections project now includes comment functionality. You can leave a comment about any of the images or documents you find. Minnesota Reflections contains about 20,000 images and documents from and about Minnesota. Topics include: animals, business & industry, health & medicine, communication, arts, labor, sports & recreation, social issues, and more!
These sites are fascinating to browse through. I think you'll enjoy them. Also, both of these sites are also available in the GU/MSB Library's Recommended Websites.
What do you think of these sites? Aren't they fun to look at?
