The Library of Congress has joined forces with Flickr to create the Flickr Commons. Now some of the Library of Congress' archived pictures are available for anyone to view online, and users are able to tag the pictures. Right now they have pictures taken by the U.S. government's Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI). These photographs are in color and were taken in 1939-1944. It really gives viewers a fresh look at this era.
There are also pictures from the Bain News Service from 1900-1920, documenting a wide range of events from sporting events to celebrities.
