Much of my childhood was caught on Kodachrome (but that was discontinued long before this week). A quick question, though, and I hope I'm not falling into clueless reader mode here-- would you tell me how to do a "quick search of the US National Archives" that will give me Kodachrome scans? When I try searching archives.gov I get info about photo preservation, but no online photos. Thanks again. Thanks for the post.
