sf photos hidden away.

Since I'm looking at archive and library resources a lot more nowadays with my new interests in software archiving, I found this great resource at the San Francisco Public Library. Unfortunately, the site is a little drab and slow, but there's an amazing collection from the vintage photo archive up there - 30,000 of the 250,000 photos are searchable and viewable. Since I've been living in the Bay Area for the past 3 years, it's great to see the history of the area so vividly depicted, from robot job pickets to classic baseball snapshots.
