LIFE Magazine’s Photo Archive Now Available in Google Image Search

Written by Kathy on November 19, 2008

Just announced yesterday, Google and LIFE have partnered to bring more than 10 million of the magazine’s archival photos to Google’s image search.  Many of these photos have never been seen before, and about 20 percent have been uploaded so far, with the rest to become available over time.  Influential 20th Century photographers such as Alfred Eisenstaedt, best known for his famous “VJ-Day kiss” picture, are featured, as are images by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Nina Leen, Ansel Adams, Bill Ray, Dorothea Lange, John Dominis, and a host of other contributors.
