From the article Famous photographs Images by some of the great Depression-era photographers -- including Dorthea Lange, Ansel Adams and Lewis Hine -- are just some of the 126,000 images you can find from the National Archives and Records Administration web site. In fact, NARA is a treasure trove of interesting finds. The agency doesn't post all of its 9 million photographs and maps on line, but it sells reproductions of all its collection? Know a Civil War buff? Find them records or maps from Civil War battles. And if photography's your thing, you've got plenty to choose from. (The NARA collection includes shots of, oh, Nixon meeting Elvis, President Clinton playing the saxophone for Boris Yeltsin and Lange's searing photos of the Depression. (For more information, click here.) Reproductions aren't expensive, either – about $20 http://www.archives.gov/exhibit_hall/picturing_the_century/home.html Many other interesting articles available, see the CNN article below for other items. http://money.cnn.com/2003/01/09/pf/saving/q_governmentsalestwo/index.htm Noel __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.
