\"American<\/a>
American Museum of Natural History exterior at Manhattan Square, 1878<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In an effort to bring 145 years worth of its historic photography collection to the computer age, the\u00a0American Museum of Natural History<\/a>\u00a0has digitized over 7,000 of its archived images and made them publicly available online.<\/p>\n

Mainly consisting of images from the museum\u2019s own collection, the images include the various installations of exhibits, as well as some scientific explorations that took place all the way back to the late 19th century.<\/p>\n

The museum has only just begun their digitizing though, noting that it\u2019s an ongoing project with many, many more collections to add. Some of the more notable collections are the\u00a0Lumholtz collection<\/a>, which documents his trips to northwestern Mexico in the late 1800s, the\u00a0Jesup North Pacific Expedition<\/a>, which documented the cultures of the Pacific Northwest natives of North America, and\u00a0plenty more<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can find more of the images on the\u00a0American Museum of Natural History website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
