New York Times Archives

One site that caught my eye the other day was actually a site to purchase photographs from the New York Times Archives. The site takes you to the New York Times on-line store where it displays photographs in several categories such as: American Experience, Buildings & Landmarks, Colour Photographs, International, NewYork, Sports, Politics, Transportation and War. Each category displays small icons of the photographs which you can click on and get more information about the image. You can view a much larger version of the image as well as find out when the image was taken, for whom and the photographers name.

I have found some amazing b/w images of New York city, Babe Ruth with a young bat boy and the Hindenburg. So if you are interested in some wonderful documentary images check out the site below!
