... stop reading this post now.
If not, then head on over to the start page where Google is hosting a LIFE magazine photo archive that spans more than a century. It's browsable, has some taxonomy, and of course it's searchable, too.
The search functionality can be used from the main Google Image Search page, too (NB: not the main Google page). Just add the string source:life to your search terms, and the results return will be exclusively from this hosted archive.
For example, if you wanted to search on a boyhood hero whose uniform number has some current significance, enter
"hank aaron" source:life
to obtain these results.
The source:life bit can be placed before or after the search keywords.
Link via Julianne Dalcanton of Cosmic Variance, who used the archive to put together a very nice post featuring pictures of old astronomers.
[Added] Sean finds another, with a funny twist.
