Abstract
This is a descriptive study of current online historical photograph collections, which culminates in an annotated directory. Our common past is reflected in historical photographs, and increased public access to these images may encourage an understanding that we share a common future. These Web sites make these photograph collections accessible to the public beyond the archivists’ file cabinets, and this directory makes the Web sites themselves more accessible by collecting their addresses and descriptions in one volume. This directory will be a useful reference for research in disciplines of art administration, museology, digital preservation, history, photography, art history, genealogy, costume, and indeed any area related to such content as can be found in historical photographs.
