Snapshots of the Past

Snapshots of the Past is an archive and blog founded in May 2001 by Jim Lantos. The online archive contains Library of Congress images publicly available as museum-quality, fine art reproductions. The blog and social media channels feature images and original research and content about historic people, places, and events.

Lantos collaborated with Applewood Books on a series of books that collected images of themes ranging from Boston baseball, to vintage holidays and the lives of presidents.
