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.
Hey! My name is Ringo. Like many of you on this page, I am unhealthily -- that's not even the half of it! -- interested in American History. In fact, I would rather live a hundred years ago than today! Fancy me mad, I don't care -- I am me and nothing is going to change that!
I am an advid writer, and I'm the author of n/f novels Orphan and Roll With the Punches.
