LIFE Images
The magazine; the old one, the famous one. Millions of historic photos online, most never published. Right here.
No science-fiction authors I’ve found yet. There is one session of photos of Hugo Gernsback, though.
Also one Richard Dyer-Bennet photo from 1947 (needing considerable restoration; maybe this weekend).
What are your best finds?

I like this photo of the Mississippi river showing the Stone Arch bridge and downtown:

Quite a few photos of the “Minneapolis Shopping Center” too, which I assume is Southdale.
I’m unreasonably fond of these grain silo pictures too:

Here’s a nice shot of a landmark from my hometown of Racine, WI:

There are pictures of Prince Bertil at Gustavus, and some commencement pictures from St. Olaf, but nothing from Carleton.

A multiple-exposure picture of Charlie Parker:

No Dexter Gordon, though! Plenty of Louis Armstrong.

That’s definitely Southdale; the bird cage is definitive.
Your Racine link is a duplicate of the second grain silo link.
I did search on Carleton and St. Olaf, but they didn’t have any pictures from the right place :-).

I’m guessing you mean the Johnson Wax research tower designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, though, after some quick searches of my own.
