The New York Public Library (NYPL) has placed its digitized picture 
collection online:

http://www.nypl.org/digital/

According to the NYPL web site, "NYPL Digital is your gateway to The New York 
Public Library’s rare and unique collections in digitized form. NYPL Digital 
helps fulfill The Library’s traditional mission in the Internet Age to 
collect, preserve and make its holdings available."

DISCOVER hundreds of thousands of prints, photographs, maps, and text pages 
via searchable databases like In Motion: The African American Migration 
Experience and NYPL Digital Gallery, online exhibitions such as Seeing Is Believing 
and James Gillray, and text sites such as Yizkor (Holocaust Memorial) Books. 
Experience selected moving image and sound recordings in Performing Arts in 
America, 1875-1923, the Louis Armstrong Jazz Oral History Project, and more. 

DIGITIZED content has been drawn from a broad range of original historical 
resources, including materials that may contain offensive language or 
stereotypes. Such materials should be viewed in the context of the time and place in 
which they were created. All historical media are presented as specific, original 
artifacts, without further enhancement to their appearance or quality, as a 
record of the era in which they were produced. 


I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting.
