The creator of SquareAmerica.com trawls flea markets and garage sales seeking out vintage-photo treasure. Scanning and categorizing grainy snapshots of American history (taken by mostly amateur photogs) the site is a curious journey of the 20th century.

Some cool categories:

What Was On - Apparently before DVR or VCR’s people would document historic TV with a camera lens. It seems almost ridiculous nowadays to be snapping the TV screen but these homemade screenshots of 1950’s news including the assassination of John F. Kennedy and moon landing are pretty cool.

Great style/design inspiration to geek out on this site! And it seems to be updated regularly… even boasting a Facebook profile.
