In perusing The Cranky Professor’s blog today (who, by the way, often appears to be much less cranky than we ourselves), we were alerted to the pleasant fact that the Architecture Library at Notre Dame University is uploading scans of their old lantern slides to Flickr under a Creative Commons license.
At the moment there’s about 700 images of pre-World War II Italy (and many slides of other places too) and they make for a wonderful tour across the boot-shaped peninsula. Click here to start your travels.
