USA - "Captured in Time: A Photographic History of Delaware"(1525 clicks)
"Consisting of over 500,000 photographs, the collection ranges in time from the mid-19th century to the present. Included in this collection are photographs of street scenes, civic organizations, individuals, churches, houses, businesses, industries, construction projects, ships, railroad cars and many other topics and interests. This project will provide access to a sampling of these photographs to the ever-growing audience on the worldwide web. While the initial focus will be on the pictorial history of local communities in the First State, the project will also include special features that will be changed periodically. To begin this project, we have chosen the communities of Bethany Beach, Rehoboth Beach, Wilmington, Dover, Milford, and Newark. More communities will be added as the project continues."
