Google Does it Again

"Search millions of photographs from the LIFE photo archive, stretching from the 1750s to today. Most were never published and are now available for the first time through the joint work of LIFE and Google."

I am very impressed with the way Google comes up with new and creative ways to connect people and digital data of a variety of formats and from a variety of sources. Today I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Life photo archive has digitized their photographs and made them availble through Google Images. The archive starts with the 1860s and ends with the 1970's. The military historian in me has really enjoyed looking at some of the imagery. These images help breath life into what previously may have been a few words printed in black & white.
