HistoryPhotos is for photographs (or, if it can be found, film) of the past, recent or distant! Give us a little snapshot of history!

Rules

Be respectful and inclusive.
No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
Foster a continuous learning environment.
No genocide or atrocity denialism.
Photos MUST be at LEAST 10 years old, and ideally over 20. We appreciate that we are living through events which will become history, but this is ultimately not a comm for news or current affairs, but events which have occurred some time in the past.

They had to stay still for 10 years for the photo to be taken! That’s quite a feat!
