LIFE - Your World in Pictures
Seven million images of American history and culture are now available on this Life.com site. The site contains the entire archives of Life magazine and Getty Images and all of them are available free. Users can view galleries curated by the site's editors or search the library by names, dates, subjects, and locations. The archive chronicles current events, too, with daily news galleries and the addition of 3,000 new Getty photos a day.
Photos on the site are organized into five channels: news, celebrity, travel, animals, and sports. Visitors can print individual images and share them through sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Delicious. New features of Life.com, due to roll out in the coming months, will allow users to create their own photo galleries. All the site's tools will be free.
Awesome Stories
AwesomeStories is geat site that brings together a range of primary sources of history including written, audio, video, slideshow, digital images and documents into a story format. As the folks at Awesome Stories say
"The stories exist as a way to place original materials in context and to hold those links together in an interesting, cohesive way (thereby encouraging people to look at them). It is a totally different kind of web site in that its purpose is to place primary sources at the forefront - not the opinions of a writer. Its objective is to take the site's users to places where those primary sources are located."
Whilst the original material in the site is largely American based the approach used serves as a great model in how historical record can be assembled as a narrative.

Picture Australia
Picture Australia is an Internet based service that allows you to search many significant online pictorial collections at the same time. When you do a search on Picture Australia, thumbnail images are retrieved from participating institutions on the fly and inserted into the search results. For example, a search on 'St Kilda' will retrieve images from all the agencies that hold relevant material, including the Nolan Gallery, the National Library of New Zealand, the National Archives of Australia, the State Library of Victoria, etc. In your search results you will see sets of 'thumbnail' or preview images. When you click on one of these you will go to the web site of the relevant agency to view the full-size version and you can order a high-resolution copy if required. You can move between Picture Australia and the participating agencies' web sites using the BACK button in your web browser.
