corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us

The University of North Texas has posted more than 400 photos of the =
John F. Kennedy assassination investigation online to an archive at =
http://texashistory.unt.edu/explore/collections/JFKDP/browse/. The idea =
is not so much to get crowd help in the investigation, but just to make =
the photos available to the public.=20
While some of the photos would be considered sensitive and might be =
found disturbing =E2=80=94 there=E2=80=99s an autopsy photo among other =
things =E2=80=94 most of them are mundane, consisting of images of =
houses, book depositories, etc. There are some interesting highlights, =
like a photo of a book seized from Lee Harvey Oswald=E2=80=99s home =
(1984), fingerprint cards, what appear to be pro-Cuba advertisements, =
and a variety of personal photographs.=20
Each image has a larger image with details including location, creator, =
and a brief description. There=E2=80=99s a =E2=80=9Cfull record=E2=80=9D =
option that has more metadata as well. In all the images I looked at, =
multiple image sizes were available; many of the images had huge =
versions (over 1000 x 1000 pixels) available for perusal. Results also =
include a full citation and a mechanism for sharing images with a huge =
number of bookmarking services
and social networks.=20
Warning once again: some of these images are hard to look at. But =
there=E2=80=99s plenty of material that=E2=80=99s of historical interest =
here.=20
