Google has just put online the entire collection of photos from the legendary but now defunct LIFE magazine including some of the most iconic images of the 20th century. Millions of images have been scanned and made available on Google Image Search. Only a small percentage (3%) of these images have ever been published. The rest (97%) have been sitting in dusty archives in the form of negatives, slides, glass plates, etchings and prints. The photos are available for free for personal and research purposes.
The good news for Kenyans and friends of Kenya is that the LIFE database contains some interesting historic images about Kenya as well. Let me give you some examples:
