[Tlc] C-SEA Digital Library Project and Historical Photos of Cambodia

[Charles Keyes]

I think it is marvelous that May's photos have been digitized.  
Unfortunately, the link that Judy provided   does not work. I went to  
the NIU Library web site and was able to find the photos at http://sea.lib.niu.edu/images/mayebihara-search.php 
. When one reaches this site, click on "browse all images."
