This is a very cool site. The LIFE photo archive (hosted by Google) contains millions of photos from LIFE archives going back to the 1750's. You can search by decade, by people, place, event, culture, etc. You can also purchase framed copies of the pictures if you are so inclined. Here are some I liked:
Queen Victoria, 1890
Allied soliders being fitted for boots in WWI, 1918
First Rolls Royce, 1903
Cary Grant & Elizabeth Taylor signing autographs, 1945
President Johnson on visit to California
Nixon & Eisenhower, 1962
Academy of Sciences Computer Center in USSR, 1959
B-47 flying over castle in Segovia, Spain, 1957
Ok, I'd better stop - I could keep this up all night!
