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

  1. Be respectful and inclusive.
  2. No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
  3. Foster a continuous learning environment.
  4. No genocide or atrocity denialism.
  5. 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.

Yes, the youth don't understand that as you go further back in time the more chaste the media gets, the more purile and violent the people of the time actually were. You may get hit a couple of times in the pit at your local deathgrind show, but you could have easily gotten stabbed at a Beach Boys concert.
