A good days for fans of open culture: Google is bringing the massive LIFE photo archive online. 2 million photos are already uploaded, and another 8 million will be coming online soon. The current archive moves from The American Civil War to present, and it includes a large number of photos never seen before. Here’s one of MLK Jr, another of Pablo Picasso, and then one of FDR. All of these images will be added to Google Image Search, but if you want to peruse the collection, you can simply access it here. You can also read more about this ambitious undertaking on Google’s corporate blog.
