New to The Commons: D.C. Public Library

Posted by zyrcster in News

We salute the D.C. Public Library as they enter the Commons today with a wealth of beautiful photographs.

Featuring a wonderful set of photos from the E.B. Thompson collection, whose strengths are in its images of federal buildings, the Arlington National Cemetery, federal memorials, national parades, historic houses, and street scenes. Welcome!

    Thanks for the welcome. Let us know if there’s anything we can do.

    I’m so happy we can make our really great collection so much more useful by putting it out for everyone. More great stuff to come!

    Cheers,
