Le musée départemental Albert-Kahn conserve les Archives de la Planète, un ensemble d'images fixes et animées, réalisé au début du XXe siècle, consacré à la diversité des peuples et des cultures.
Et de plus, un poste vraiment particulièrement cool.
Merci!
TF/DR (too French, didn't read): The Regional museum Albert-Kahn maintains the 'Archives of the Planet,' a collection of still and moving images taken at the beginning of the 20th century, devoted to the diversity of people and their cultures.
Seriously, a very cool website with a very interesting interface - photographs are organized but subject/theme and then can be located geographically on a google-map. It brings a sense of the place these moments in time happened that otherwise would never come across.
