I feel that more historical societies should do this.

The autochrome set on the Eastman photostream is particularly lovely.  Here are a few that I love.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/george_eastman_house\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"eastman_autochrome_throne.jpg\" onclick=\"javascript:urchinTracker('\/outbound\/flickr.com\/photos\/george_eastman_house\/');\"><img src=\"http:\/\/thelooksee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/eastman_autochrome_throne.jpg\" alt=\"eastman_autochrome_throne.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/george_eastman_house\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"eastman_autochrome_sphinx.jpg\" onclick=\"javascript:urchinTracker('\/outbound\/flickr.com\/photos\/george_eastman_house\/');\"><img src=\"http:\/\/thelooksee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/eastman_autochrome_sphinx.jpg\" title=\"eastman_autochrome_sphinx.jpg\" alt=\"eastman_autochrome_sphinx.jpg\" width=\"450\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/george_eastman_house\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"eastman_autochrome_carnations.jpg\" onclick=\"javascript:urchinTracker('\/outbound\/flickr.com\/photos\/george_eastman_house\/');\"><img src=\"http:\/\/thelooksee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/eastman_autochrome_carnations.jpg\" title=\"eastman_autochrome_carnations.jpg\" alt=\"eastman_autochrome_carnations.jpg\" width=\"450\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The George Eastman House (as in Kodak Eastman company), now a museum, has joined the Library of Congress in creating a Flickr account and posting old photos from their archives for the public to see, tag, and comment on.
