Magnum agency photographers are responsible for some of the most iconic photographic images, and their roster has included many renowned photographers. The New York Times has an article about how the physical prints in their archive have found a new home at a university in Texas, highlighting the historical significance of these photos and "their role in helping to create the collective photo bank of modern culture".
Much of their archive has been scanned and is available to view online here.
There is also a 'photo of the week' blog which you might like to put in your blogreader (eg. Bloglines, Google Reader) to see what appears which might be useful for school. Find it here.
One to share with your teachers of History, Visual Arts, English... and an alternative to Google Images for kids to know, too.
Cheers
Ruth
