Visual Document

One of the best resources for historical photographs and pictures is from the Library of Congress. Their Prints & Photographs Online Catalog  provides a huge selection of photos, posters, paintings as well other printed material. The site is easy to navigate and fun to browse through.  Many of their catalog records are accompanied by digital images--about one million digital images in all! Here is a sample of just one of their pictures:

"Captain J.M. Robertson and Staff, 1st Brigade Horse Artillery, Brandy Station, Va., February, 1864."

Here's a fun game that uses real photos! See if you can be a Super Slueth!
