History buffs may want to rethink their plans for the three-day weekend, and even people with only a slight interest in the subject should get ready to make a few mouse clicks. The Library of Congress and Flickr have teamed up to introduce folks to a huge collection of photos, with most of the images dating back to between 1935 and 1943.
Viewers of the collection, which was put together by the Farm Security Administration and the Office of War Information, can look over the highlights quite quickly. Or it's also possible to spend weeks pouring over the pictures.
Dorothea Lange's "Migrant Mother," seen here, definitely counts as one of the most requested pictures, and should give you an idea of the quality of the collection.
