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.

Looks like the fiddle player is one of those serious musician types, taking his solo very seriously. The rest are just havin' a good time.

Love this photo. I'm looking around for a young Hank Williams in the background, maybe working out the lyrics to Jambalaya.
