Images from the Hoover Institution Archives
Founded to archive the record of the First World War, the Hoover Institution, located at Stanford University, now makes a lot of its holdings available on line. Many of their images are displayed in slideshows. Below is a montage of some interesting examples I've discovered while browsing their site.
The slideshows can be found here:
