A few days ago NASA released a bunch of high definition photographs taken during the Apollo program in the 60s and early 70s. Project Apollo Archive | Flickr - Photo Sharing!




Today, Yale University has put up 170,000 photos from the Great Depression for public consumption. Photogrammar

I've been noticing this with Facebook posts. Apparently 2014 was extra interesting and 2015 is just a repeat of it.
