About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

I love this one. You really can feel the chill in the air and maybe the man is wondering how much longer can the war go on??? I live in Decatur, Alabama and it seems some still carry the war with them on some level? i love this site and your pictures most of all!!!

Interesting story. Hopefully the state or some organization will attempt to reproduce at least one set of statues for display.

Those statues at the Tennessee Capitol have been missing for about 50 years until one turned up recently in a private park. You can see the story here.
