Wow, great site .. 89 pages of historical photos! The ones of the 1930's depression era sharecroppers by Lewis Hine and Dorothea Lange are classics.

I love the Hi Fi Boom Box, what a classic, now we can fit all that stuff in a MP3 and run it on a tiny battery.

Thanks for the link John, I love these sorts of photos.
I remember the ones Leon posted last year, fantastic.
To me, there is just something about them that captures the atmosphere and feelings of the time, not just the imagery.

A friend recently sent me a collection from the actual bombing of Pearl Harbour and it left me gob-smacked.

Thanks again for the link.
