LIFE Photo Archive available though Google

Official Google Blog: LIFE Photo Archive available on Google Image Search














From Google Blog:


We're excited to announce the availability of never-before-seen images from the LIFE photo archive. This effort to bring offline images online was inspired by our mission to organize all the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. This collection of newly-digitized images includes photos and etchings produced and owned by LIFE dating all the way back to the 1750s.


This is an impressive deed by Google. I am really looking forward to seeing what they can do to capitalize on this and make it pay for itself. Can it be done?
