This is a group for sharing the front covers of vintage magazines. A straight-on scan of the entire cover is best, but a photo is fine if it is straight-on. Please do not submit altered images or your own cover creations.
This group is intended to be a collection of interesting and beautiful magazine covers, especially those devoted to art, music, theater, and other areas of special interest. Duplicate covers will be removed. If possible, please add appropriate descriptions or keywords, includ…
This group is devoted to antique photographs taken in France (and its colonies) from the invention of photography and up to the end of World War I and the transitory years that immediately folowed it (1918-20). Photos taken by French photographers elsewhere pertain to this group.
A note regarding WWI items: all photos taken by German amateur or professional photographers in occupied French territories are adequate to the corresponding Early Photography in Germany group, as they reflect a Germ…
This group focuses on antique photographs taken in the German states and the German Empire, or by German photographers abroad, from the invention of photography to the end of World War Two.
A note regarding WWI items: all photos taken by German amateur or professional photographers in occupied territories (France, territories of the Russian Empire, Romania etc.) are fully adequate to the group, as they reflect the German perspective and photographic tradition.
This group focuses on antique photographs taken in the United States of America, or by American photographers travelling abroad, from the invention of photography to the end of World War One. The photographic production of the short-lived Confederate States of America (1861-1866) naturally pertains to this group.
A note regarding WWI items: all photos taken by American amateur or professional photographers in Europe during the war are fully adequate to the group, as they reflect the American…
What is the Lincoln Highway?
The Lincoln Highway was the first road across the USA. Actively promoted by entrepreneur Carl G. Fisher, the Lincoln Highway originally spanned coast-to-coast from Times Square in New York City to Lincoln Park in San Francisco through 13 states: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California. In 1915, the "Colorado Loop" through Denver was removed, and in 1928, a realignment relocated…
Welcome to "Movie Theaters & Drive Ins", a place to share photos of old or new movie theaters & drive in theaters anywhere in the world. Exterior, interior, facades or just their marquees & signs, it's welcome here.

This is a place for scans or copies of real old vintage photos.
Please no "fake" vintage or aged photos, this is a historical archive for the real deal.
Photos of what I loosely call Storybook architecture. The red roof cottages of the 20s, the fantasy looks from California, the gas stations created to look like little homes. Plus, any wacky building out there in various shapes; Duck House, Teapot or Coffee buildings, essentially anything extraordinary, whimsical, and storybook driven.
If you can ride it, fly it or drive it, IT belongs here.
Trains, planes, automobiles, motor cycles, or skateboards. Basicly anything that moves a person from one place to another.
The main subject of an image has to be some sort of transportation.
If something other than a means of transportation is the main subject of a image it will be deleted.
Temporary moderated.
Don´t spam in the name of this group.
Don´t add "Seen in...", "Admired in..." or something like this in your comments.…
Add your vernacular photos here! They should be vintage, original, and of a vernacular nature. Only submit photos that belong to you.
Please refer to this description by Robin Lenman:
"Aesthetically unpretentious, generally functional images made by amateur snapshooters or grass-roots professionals (e.g. itinerant tintypists, photowallahs, or jobbing local portraitists) for everyday purposes such as creating keepsakes or recording mundane objects."

Vintage photographs of "house-proud" people from the 1800s to 1979. Post photos from your collection that show people posing in front of their homes. Each photo should include the exterior of a house and one or more people.
Photos of house-proud people and their houses will ideally convey the idea of "here's where we live" or "here's what our house looks like" or "our new house." Images that show an entire house—or a good portion of it—are especially encouraged so that we can see the types and…
Many of us on road trips also visit odd museums, such as ones filled with taxidermy or skeletal remains, and although there are fantastic groups for outdoor roadside oddities, I've noticed a lack of anything dedicated to the things one stops for and enters along the way. Here is a spot to add stuffed Ferrets, Squirrels playing cards, the Frog Circus, a Fat Lady's dress, the largest collection of salt and pepper Shakers in the world, wax museums, eerie caves, haunted attractions or real houses, a…
