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.

Hilltop Park

Submitted by Denny on Tue, 08/07/2007 - 12:37am.

Some photos of Hilltop Park can be seen here. Seems it existed as a ballpark and a home for the Highlanders/Yankees for just over ten years; it was demolished in 1914.

Philadelphia Americans

Legend on Photo says Phila. Americans, instead of Athletics.

[Philadelphia Americans is short for Philadelphia American League team. As opposed to the Philadelphia Nationals. - Dave]
