Because I am huge history nerd, I occasionally (OK, frequently) visit websites like the National Archives and the Library of Congress. While browsing our nation’s library, I noticed this posting, announcing that the Library of Congress recently uploaded over 3,000 images to Flickr.
There are currently two photo sets - 1930s-40s in Color and News in the 1910s.
All of the images are copyright free and offer an incredible look back into the past.
I’ve literally spent the last two hours wandering through the images.
This is seriously one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time.

I fear for my favorites button on Flickr.
Seriously though, this is challenging me as a photographer. I cannot believe the quality of work that many of these photos have. The guys and gals were shooting with the same tricks I’m discovering today. (The tricks that I thought were so “2008″.)
