I have been browsing this collection on flickr a lot and it has been great to see what stuff was looking like and how people were shooting it back in the day. It is where I found this gem 
One of the Joys of a Long Hiking Trip in the Desert Is the Chance to Relax and Do as You Please, 05/1972 by The U.S. National Archives, on Flickr
"The U.S. National Archives was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt, but its major holdings date back to 1775. The National Archives keeps only those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value -- about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. By now, they add up to a formidable number, diverse in form as well as in content. In addition to the photographs and graphic images described above, there are approximately 9 billion pages of textual records; 7.2 million maps, charts, and architectural drawings; billions of machine-readable data sets; and more than 365,000 reels of film and 110,000 videotapes. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens."
Just a heads up that they have some sweet photography of the Colorado Plateau and a lot more. I thought some may enjoy the experience of browsing their photos as much as I have.
