The Burns Archive Blog

One of the most important inventions of modern times is the photograph. Its impact on human history has finally opened the book to primary sources of evidence, presenting moments in time from bygone eras.

This is why the Burns Archive is just so important. Now, at their blog, they are updating regularly with items from the Stanley Burns’ Archive, with some of the finest examples of photography in existence.

The memorial photography is particularly interesting, as there are some very intimate views of the household in mourning and post-mortem photography.

I highly urge you to go visit regularly and be transported into former times:
