Entire LIFE Magazine Run from 1936-1960 Available Online

Google Books this week made available online the entire run of LIFE magazine’s golden years, from 1936 to 1960. Technologizer talks about the treasure trove and offers tips on the best way to view them. That’s some cool stuff, Maynard.

Okay, Google Books does offer one feature that makes its LIFE archive infinitely more useful than microfilm could ever be: full-text searching of the magazine’s entire history. That’s how I’m finding gems like this 1963 feature on Polaroid’s first 60-second film and this 1964 ad for a Sony TV with a four-inch screen.
