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.

My name is Tony, I'm 19 years old from southern California and I have recently found some old family photos in my great grandmother's wooden chest. I've been scanning the negatives that interest me and maybe they'll interest you too.
Also, I apologize if you notice some of my bad Photoshop skills. Some (most) of the negatives are a little over twice the size of a 35mm negative and since my film scanner was made for 35mm negatives, I have to stitch two separate scans of one negative together. I try my best (and am getting better) at hiding the scan line. Thanks.
