In searching the Library of Congress' Farm Securitysulphur (not sulfur) hooker (you'll be surprised) Sometimes the captions don't mention what to us are the most important thing, because they were written to explain what was _different_ about the picture. So if, for example, you are looking for photos about soup making, also look up words like washing, peeling, slicing, and cooking. In addition, there are often other pictures taken at the same time which never received a caption, and thus can't be found by searching. So if you see a picture of interest, click on it, then click on the words "Display Images with Neighboring Call Numbers." There the pictures are arranged by numerical order, which only roughly corresponds to chronological order. It's best, once you're viewing the photos by call number, to page back and forth a few pages looking for related photos. Sometimes two or more photographers covered the same subject, but since each photographer had a block of numbers assigned to them, there may be two or more groups of numbers covering the photos taken at that time. Try the "Display Images with Neighboring Call Numbers" trick on other photos you find by searching. If you like old photos, go to my home page and click on the word "History." Some of the collections are better than others. ===== - Tom Gloger e-mail: mailto:tomgloger@yahoo.com web page: http://pws.prserv.net/usinet.tgloger ____Content_below_this_line_is_from_Yahoo!,_not_from_me!____ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
