History Through the Wide LensIf a picture is worth a thousand words, then a panoramic must be worth a million..........Photography is a visual record of history and culture. Photos bring time and place alive allowing individual emotional connection to the small glimpse of the period in which they were taken. Historians often use photographs to support their theories or explore new perspectives. But the value of the photo goes beyond mere historical proofs, it is the ability to preserve cultural heritage by simply displaying it. ![]() Golden Gate NRA, Park Archives, Sam Llewellyn Scovel 44th Infantry Regiment Photographs, GOGA 36953 People From the PastIs anyone smiling?
