Mixture of places. Most I get from Rarehistoricalphotos. Many I get from Wikimedia commons. Some I google, when I have a piece of historical trivia I know but no picture to go with it. When I feel adventurous, I search online national archives, found some good Ethiopian pics in the Polish archives a while back.
