LIFE Magazine teams up with Google!

Good news: LIFE Magazine and Google have teamed up to make 10 million images shot by the magazine's photographers (and other non-photographic images in the LIFE Collection dating back to the 18th century) available to the public. The photos can be freely used for non-profit and educational purposes that do not require a license. The Google search engine for the 20% of the images already digitized can be found at http://images.google.com/hosted/life and more of the collection is being added each day. Each high resolution image bears a LIFE watermark in the corner, but clean prints will be obtainable through www.life.com in the near future.
