Changes at Library of Congress

Walker Evans. Movie Theatre on St. Charles Street, New Orleans, Louisiana. 1935 or 1936. Farm Security Administration Image LC-USF342- 001285, Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress.

The Library of Congress has recently changed its Prints and Photographs Division On-Line Catalog, which includes images from the Historic American Buildings Survey and the Farm Security Administration/Office of War. The new Interface has more robust search capabilities, and features easy ways to share and save links to selected images.

It also has a new URL:

http://www.loc.gov/pictures/

Sample searches are posted with a Flickr set, http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/sets/72157623631646607/

Link changes have been made on Tulane University Research Guides pages for Architecture and Historic Preservation:
