Yet another delightful way to waste time on your computer (http://www.shorpy.com) [edit: link repaired]. Shorpy posts high resolution restored photographs from as far back as the Civil War era. Here's a shaving oriented photo as an example.

I can spend all day long browsing Shorpy.

Very cool site; thanks! There's a definite DC-focus, which is really neat for me; I know many (most) of the locations, and recall some of the old landmarks that have disappeared in my time. I've even found a few connections:

This gentleman is buried in the cemetery directly behind my house: http://www.shorpy.com/node/5017

And this woman lived in the apartment building which was my home for 12 years: http://www.shorpy.com/node/5401
