Google is now hosting millions of historic LIFE photos from the 1750s all the way till today. It provides an interesting view of historic events. Using Google’s search functionality, you can browse the photos any which way you want. Browsing by year, for example, shows the zeitgeist of the time. It is easy to get carried away looking at photos of the moon landing in 1968, the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, or the signing of the Bretton Woods Agreements in 1945. Or one can view photos of far away places like Greenland, Calcutta, or Burma.
