Old News But Good News

Librarian at the Card Files at Senior High School in New Ulm Minnesota, 10/1974 by photographer David Rees. A photo from the U.S. National Archives' Collection.

By now this information is old news, but I thought I would post it for those who might have missed it. I recently learned from the blog Indicommons that the U. S. National Archives is in the process of posting its photo collection on Flickr.

This collection of almost 4,000 photos includes images from the civil war photographer Matthew Brady, Ansel Adams, and a project conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency entitled “DOCUMERICA.” These photos would be an especially wonderful resource for teachers, but also for anyone with a general interest.


Check out the link above to the Indicommons blog for more information on this collection and how to access it through Flickr.
