Search millions of photographs from the LIFE photo archive, stretching from the 1750s to today. Most were never published and are now available for the first time through the joint work of LIFE and Google.

Remarkable...but I can't think of any remark comparable to the amazing quality and provocation that these shots deliver.

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.

Oh WHEW!

I am SO glad they saved all those photos, and now have them online for everyone to look at.  It goes a very long way towards making up for the HEART ATTACK I gave my mother the day she came downstairs to find me happily cutting out all the neat pictures from her impressive collection of old LIFE magazines for some school project I was doing.  I mean, look, I didn't understand why it was ok to cut out thhings from Better Homes & Gardens but not LIFE.  They're both already read magazines, right?  Besided, LIFE had MUCH cooler pictures.  Esp. the ones of JFK and MLK jr. and stuff...

Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
