One of the most interesting subject matters on most
stock photography sites is archival photos. Like something you would find in a box in the attic, archival photos give you a connection to the past. They are a prized commodity. And although they can be imitated, nothing beats the real thing.

There are often loads of images from the 1920's, '30's and '40's to choose from. For designers, it is often worth digging deep for these historical images. They can be used to create a feeling of sentimentality, as educational tools, and as a way to give a glimpse of what was life back then.

Archival images also can just be plain funny and make you wonder what the heck they were thinking back then. From ridiculous exercise equipment to some questionable hobbies, like phone booth stuffing, there are some hilarious photos out there. Just like . . .oh, I don't know . . .maybe a woman sitting in front of multiple industrial hair dryers for some reason.
