Rarely do we have the opportunity to have a glimpse into the past. One of the eras that I am fascinated by — the Great Depression of the 1930s — is one that continues to peak my interest over and over again ever since I was a high school student.
I ran across the news at TechCrunch today that Flickr was working with the American Library of Congress to share colour photographs taken during that area. This initiative is through The Commons program. There are a wide variety of photographs to check out and I highly recommend browsing through all of them. I’m still going through them right now!
I can’t say that I usually support Flickr but the project that they are working on with the Library of Congress is definitely worthwhile and truly makes history(I’m a history major) that much more accessible to the world. And it’s not a bad thing to be able to look back at the challenges, failures, and accomplishments of fellow human beings.
