Shorpy.com is the 100-year-old photography blog that brings our ancestors back, at least to the desktop. The site is named after Shorpy Higginbotham, a boy who worked in an Alabama coal mine near the turn of the century.
I saw this on boingboing a while back and subscribed to the RSS feed. Every day some unique images arrive in my Bloglines that bring the past back to life. There are some really striking images, the women workers of WW2 in particular and the early 20th century industrial stuff. I really dig this photoblog. You can order large size prints, too. I've got like a dozen picked out for when I get some extra money to waste. |
