Life mag goes online through Google scan project

I was just sent a link to an AP article by Anick Jesdanun, AP Technology Writer that appeared in the SFGate (San Francisco Chronicle) today (9/23/09)

"Decades of Life magazine have been scanned and posted online, giving the public the first comprehensive electronic access to the iconic publication's archives." ...

..."The archives cover the magazine's main run as a weekly, from 1936 to 1972 — more than 1,860 issues in all. After the weekly ceased publication in 1972, it was resurrected as a monthly in 1978 and ended again in 2000. From 2004 to 2007, Life appeared as a weekly newspaper supplement."

This is a wonderful boost to the research for the World's Fair, as well as other past information. Here is a link to the Life Magazine collection on the web: http://tinyurl.com/kq8g9g

Be prepared to spend a few hours of reliving some of the events that happened over the past 73 years. Best part is that it is all free to view and copy for personal use.

"Life already has made images available through the Life.com Web site and a partnership with Google Inc."

Is it really any wonder why Google is #1 ... at least in my computer.

Enjoy!!!
