Photo detective
We linked to this blog about dating old photos a few years back, but its worth revisiting. Maureen Taylor posts photos submitted by readers and points out clues to when they were taken. Great photos and interesting discussion.There are archives back to 2007, and photos are also archived by decade and by subject and type of photo.
