Britain’s Daily Mail recently published an interesting collection of old photographs from New York City. The story is about a new digital collection of thousands of NYC photos.
Taken mostly by anonymous municipal workers, some of the images have appeared in publications but most were accessible only by visiting the archive offices in lower Manhattan over the past few years.
Researchers, history buffs, filmmakers, genealogists and preservationists in particular will find the digitized collection helpful. But anyone can search the images, share them through social media or purchase them as prints.
It was like a city walk back in time. I look forward to viewing more of them.
These are truly phenomenal. They’re so provocative I could write a comment on just about all of them.
