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.) Many 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.

Picture taken of a hunting cabin in 1922. More than likely located somewhere in the wilderness of Pennsylvania. That would be my great grandfather in the picture. My grandmother's writing across the picture. View full size.
