Life.com photo archive

Over 7 million images of American life, history and culture are now available on Life.com. The site has recently been relaunched and makes the entire archived library of photos from Life magazine and Getty images available for free. This also includes 3000 current event images added daily by Getty. There are 5 channels on the site: news, celebrity, travel, animals, and sports. The photos can be printed out, shared through social networking sites, and are especially useful to educators and students. Many of the photos and captions were taken together and tell a full story. The site also plans to roll-out some new features in the coming months that will all be FREE, so check back often!
Here's an example - in honor of ER's last episode
