The New York Times has just launched “The Lively Morgue“, a new blog featuring selections from its massive photo archive.

They’re also posting the reverse of each photograph, illustrating the physical history of the document.

Kerstin Hacker is a documentary photographer and Head of Photography at the Cambridge School of Art, Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, UK.
