If you think the Library of Congress only sticks with old-school photo preserving methods think again. The department recently joined Flickr and uploaded more than 1,600 images from the Farm Security Administration and Office of War Information and about 1,500 images from the George Grantham Bain News Service with the public. The archive is breathtaking.
