UCR/California Museum of Photography: Virtual Magnifying Glass

Now you can!
This page will take you to historical photographs from the UC/Riverside California Museum of Photography's collection. Unlike most WWW images, areas of these photographs are mapped to reveal new details not visible in the small in-line image. Dig deep, you will be surprised at what you might find among signs in shop windows, or down the dusty streets of a frontier town, at Disneyland in 1956, or in the Netherlands 90 years ago.
