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.

smoked meat?

Note the USDA stamp on the fat. This would have the EST number on it that would tell you what plant it came from.
When is "Rocky" coming to box the meat?
