Critical Past. A Must Have For All Researchers!!

Its called Critical Past.

And from PCMAG.com it was named one of the top Websites of 2010.

Need to dig into the past? Try Critical Past, which offers a collection of historic images and videos. They're completely royalty-free (though you still have to pay to use them off the site). If it got captured for the news in the early part of the 20th century, there's a good chance the footage you seek is here.

Enjoy friends, NRE.

I'm always looking for older references, to compare and contrast, etc. Thanks for sharing! Royalty-free photos are fun for my designs too.

The quality is impeccable also. There is a contact link that I think is helpful as I am looking for something imparticular, and I'm hoping that they can find it for me. I couldn't believe how much stuff they had.

Peace, NRE.

Thanks!! That site looks like somewhere I can spend HOURS........Just what I was looking for!!

Thought Id give this a bump, as its a great site, and I have been looking through it, and have realized that pictures and words make a hell of a difference

Peace, NRE.

Nice find, NRE.

Another bump, so more might find your thread.

S&F.
