News photo archives online

The Library of Congress has digitized about 40,000 photographs and made them available online at http://memory.loc.gov/pp/ggbainhtml/ggbainabt.html. The photographs come from the George Grantham Bain collection, which focuses on American life in the early 1900s. Many photographs were taken in New York City. For more information about the online collection, check out the Research Buzz review.
