Latest Updates from CyberGuide
The New York Public Library has digitized over 480,000 images in its collections just so you can save your airline ticket money and stay home. The collections contain maps, illuminated manuscripts, photographs, illustrations, and much more.
The reason I love this site is its simplicity and superb navigation...
My favourites worth checking out are:
1. African American history
2. Early prints and photos of Asia and the Pacific Rim
3. Cigarette cards
4. New York City theater marquees
5. Medieval and Renaissance illuminated manuscripts
