The Life magazine archive was posted online last week, hosted by Google. The archive dates back to the 1860s but mostly covers the 20th century with never-before-seen images of any historic topic you can dream up. Marilyn Monroe, NASA missions, JFK’s assassination, past Olympics, surfing in the 1960s and on and on are all available for browsing. It’s a fascinating look back through history.
