Hungarian Photo Archive
Thanks to Hyperallergic (an arts e-newsletter), I have discovered Fortepan. Fortepan is a treasure trove of photos taken in Hungary (or by Hungarians) in the 20th century.
---minnow traps, 1941
The photos can simply be looked at in simple chronological order, or searched by subject. Use Google Translate to find the Hungarian word for your subject. Usually this results in awkward half-fitting results, but you can go from there. I found the above image by searching for "halasz," which Google Translate tells me is Hungarian for "fisherman."
