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 run a website called housewifeinhollywood.com
It is a pop culture, arts and entertainment site featuring mostly trivial dribble but I spice it up a bit with reviews, and interviews with A-list celebs, aspiring talent, and interesting people.
I could look at old photos for hours a day. It's always been a hobby of mine. This is an amazing site full of history, storytelling and poignant images.
