The American Memory collections at http://memory.loc.gov/ are excellent. Photographs and many other print formats are digitized and organized there. Smithsonian Institute (http://www.si.edu/) is an excellent resource. For a project that required pictures of technology I made a short webpage of links to several resources (sorry, it was a paid thing so it is not available). I found there are extensive archives of pictures online at many state and local museum and government sites and . A advanced google search (http://www.google.com/advanced_search) for the event with a limiter of .gov, .edu, or .org will usually bring up several resources. Many companies have archives also. Then make a quick page of links by timeline or category. An advantage to this is a teachable moment in searching sites, or skimming for keywords, etc. Many of our National Parks were established at historical sites. They (http://www.nps.gov) have links to historical events at http://www.cr.nps.gov/ Robert Eiffert, Media Specialist Pacific Middle School Evergreen SD, Vancouver Washington beiffert@attbi.com -----Original Message----- From: School Library Media & Network Communications [mailto:LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU] On Behalf Of Chris beck Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 8:26 AM To: LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU Subject: Request: resources for significant historical photos Our high school publications teacher is looking for photography resources that she could pass on to her students if she gave an assignment to find a significant photo in our nation's history. The suggestions I gave her were the AP Photo archive which we subscribe to through AccuNet and the National Archives at www.nara.gov. Does anyone else have any other suggestions?
