Square America
If you like vernacular photographs of everyday 20th century life, you'll love Square America, a collection of online exhibitions of vintage snapshots. Each link takes you to an entertaining world of photobooth pictures, people sleeping, feminine beauty, mugshots, family vacations, television programs, smoke, moving pictures, double exposures, politics, clothing, and so much more. It's like finding a giant shoebox of interesting old photos - but already edited, scanned, organized, and put online!
