lol I think it is funny how some assume that the LOC doesn't have internet. What they are looking for is something they don't already know about the photos. :-)

Obviously the Library of Congress has internet access--but some of the OTHER folks who visit these pages might be interested in having further details attached.

I really appreciate the extra info, penny.

The Society for American Baseball Research did extensive research for the baseball related ones, but the LOC doesn't seem to do the research unless the image is used on it's own website for another project..

great shot

nice sharing this

Great
