The site includes thousands of mostly black and white photographs in high-resolution digital form. They are arranged in galleries like:
Civil War
Dust Bowl
Japanese American Relocation
Kids (this includes child labor images)
World War I
World War 2
The Depression
You can scroll through all the galleries here: http://www.shorpy.com/image

What are some (from these lists and/or elsewhere on the site) that would be especially useful in your teaching?
