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.

The look on her face...

It's like that little girl can see us here in the future, but nobody is going to believe her, and she'll forget all about it when she grows up.

But it happened-she saw us here back in 1936!
