Europeana.eu[/b] (http://europeana.eu/[b) has launched a searchable online gallery of more than 2 million historical photographs, which catalog the first 100 years of photography in Europe.

Over 50 European institutions from 34 countries have contributed photographs to the collection, which were sourced from photographic archives, agencies and museum collections across Europe.

The Europeana Photography project is being led by PHOTOCONSORTIUM (http://www.photoconsortium.net/), the International Consortium for Photographic Heritage. The non-profit aims to promote and enhance the culture of photography and photographic heritage.

The 2,296,517 photos in the collection can be filtered by the providing country, institution, and usage license. Many of the images are Public Domain.

Pretty cool!
