The Telegraph Saturday Review had a really useful list today of online archives - here are a few of them and a bit of blurb taken from the article.
www.moma.org/collection - for the most comprehensive modern archive by a single institution to date.
www.vggallery.com/letters - Van Gogh's 902 letters - £450 for the new Thames & Hudson book - or free to view at this site.
www.books.google.com - 15 million publications - I just checked out the complete collection of Life magazine - worth a look at the front covers dating back to the 1950's.
www.europeana.eu - By 2016 all public domain masterpieces in Europe should be accessible through this site. It currently has 15 million to view.
http://threadsoffeeling.com/ - Tokens; mainly a tiny piece of fabric, left by mothers to identify babies left at the Foundling Hospital between 1741 and 1760. Heart-rending.
