Historical Photos Online for New York City
Photographers will delight in perusing the almost-a-million images now available via the New York City Municipal Archives Online Gallery.
Mixed in alongside mundane shots for various city bureaus are well-composed, stunningly detailed views of the city and the people who've populated it for over a century. Detail which we, in this digital photo age, are just recently producing once again.
The photos can be ordered as prints or licensed for commercial use.

"On the Road" Show Opens at the CPG Gallery
Road trip! Come see images that'll hit you up with an urge to hit the road.
As featured photographer of CPG Gallery’s latest exhibit, Ken Martin, says, “Leave the interstates behind and drive along the old US and state highways, and the back roads to see the real America. The small towns and cities, old store windows and historic neighborhoods. Or the ones with quirky decorations or signs or shop windows. And always absorb and photograph the landscape.”
Opening reception will be on Saturday, April 14th, 2012 from 5-8 p.m. (Second Saturday on Staten Island's North Shore.)
