A friend sent this link to me today. Fascinating stuff.
Thought I'd post for all to read.

I was once in the Library of Congress, years and years ago and had a friend who worked there...impressive facility. I'll have to take a look at that link...interesting.

I remember being sent this site a long while ago and then losing the link. It's great to see the shots again, they're so compelling. I especially love the way that movement throws out the composite and creates some beautiful colours - like the moving water and smoke.
Thanks for posting this Susan, I'll be persuing it at length soon.

The colors are incredible. Hard to believe they were taken a century ago.
