I’m  not going to waste your time with sites claiming to contains public domain prints but only display low resolution images. Vintage Printable is a website that has an awesome collection of medieval prints with printable resolution. The site also contains a lot of prints from different time periods images that can be search easily since most of them are properly categorized. The site sometime crawl probably from the number or users but for the most part getting gorgeous prints from Vintage Printable is painless.

American Civil War Pictures National Archives

The National Archives did some site renovation and has made it easier for researchers to get all kinds of media from the American Civil War. There’s a great deal of content you can use to show life during this time period. My favorite are the pictures showing civilian activities such as sports and construction.

I recently saw this site Old Postcards from Brazil which has a huge gallery of rare postcards from Brazil, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Argentina, Uruguay and Chile.

A Free Book on Public Domain

Posted on December 12, 2008 by admin| Leave a comment

I love the fact the author James Boyle decided to give away his his book online. If you believe in the idea of free information that you should practice it. He certainly lives up to his reputation.

The book it selves gives you a better understanding on the war of information and the hypocrisy of copyright laws. Its a good read, and worth having in your PC, Iphone, Sony Reader or whatever you use to read PDF Books.
