Basement historian

From the amusing found objects file, "The World's Greatest Newspaper" (link opens in new window), circa 1938.

I particularly like the classifieds, which you can see in the second image. For those too afear'd of 80k of jpegs, here's an excerpt:

HELP WANTED--MEN

Employment law was little different back in the day.
