Some Cool Links to Things from the Past

Here's a couple of cool links I ran across recently:

R.I.P. Films - This is a collection of old film shorts, things like war reports, industrial propaganda, educational films from the 50's, etc. Many are humorous by today's standards, and I've seen at least one of the films I downloaded on Mystery Science Theater 3000 a few years ago. Still, an interesting glimpse into a part of America's past.

Bound for Glory - Wish I could remember where I found this (Slashdot? Uncle Bear? Don't recall...). Anyway, it's a bunch of pictures from around the US circa 1939-1943. Not a big deal in and of itself, except for the fact that they're in color. Not something you generally see in pictures that old.
