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.

John MacDonald shows off his guns and his car sometime in the 1920's. He was an easy going gentleman. A barber by trade, he liked to joke around. He was my Grandmothers' brother, and my hero. I think this photograph was taken near Dakota Illinois where he worked in a barber shop. View full image.
