discovering photo history

Toronto. Our photo historian, George Dunbar, found another interesting site in his pursuit of photographic history through old magazine articles and advertisements. The site includes many issues of an early 1900s magazine called “Photographic Topics”.

George writes, “Some great, old photo magazines available here [on the HathiTrust Digital Library].”

HathiTrust describes itself as,”Founded in 2008, HathiTrust is a not-for-profit collaborative of academic and research libraries preserving 17+ million digitized items. HathiTrust offers reading access to the fullest extent allowable by U.S. copyright law, computational access to the entire corpus for scholarly research, and other emerging services based on the combined collection.

“HathiTrust members steward the collection — the largest set of digitized books managed by academic and research libraries — under the aims of scholarly, not corporate, interests.”
