Title: Gus - WWI Images
Post by: LongBlade on September 07, 2015, 08:23:08 PM
My journey through the digital collection of the British Library continues.

This evening I ran across several images taken during WWI.

Gus, I thought you'd enjoy seeing these.

Thanks LB. O0

The British Library are a great public resource. I also like the Bundesarchiv, which offers a similar public service. You might like it too. :)

Never tried the Bundesarchiv. Sounds like it might have real potential.

Thanks!

It may even be better than this British Library collection.
