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.

I have always loved photography. I enjoy taking pictures, as well as viewing old photos. I have accumulated quite a few old photos over the years. Some are old family photos, others came from auctions in unwanted lots, and this summer, I found a large box of photo albums from the 50's in a house we were taking down.
