A playground from the 1970s—where slides were sky-high, safety was optional, and bravery was mandatory.

Just remember... Some Assembly Required was an option for home ownership...
God forbid you had extra parts.
From Historical Photographs on Facebook:
In the 1910s, Sears offered mail order houses. You would select the house of your choice, then Sears would ship it to you by railroad. The parts were then assembled by the individual, based on the instructions

On May 18, 1980, Richard Lasher shot this epic photo of the eruption of Mount St. Helens. Lasher was forced to abandon his Pinto and flee the giant plume of ash on his motorcycle. Lasher survived, his Pinto did not.

Ms. Que BanhDid you know? The #UnitedChurch once operated a home and school in #VictoriaBC for #Chinese and #Japanese girls and women. Today, many are surprised to learn this. Margery Hadley, a professional #archivist and member of #FirstMetropolitanUnitedChurch in Victoria, has recently completed a #digitization project that makes the images of the Oriental Home and School available online. It opens to us a now distant world and its concomitant issues.

#FirstMetArchives has been privileged to care for two important historical documents from the #OrientalHomeAndSchool. The first is the #ChineseRescueHome Advisory Committee minute book, 1896-1915. The second is the Oriental Home and School album, a fascinating assemblage of 95 photographs of the Oriental Home community, mainly between 1907 and 1916.
The Oriental Home and School album is now available online. It is part of First Met’s #historic #photographs digitization project that involved digital scanning and description of over 500 images from our #archival collections. These photographs are available to the public on #Flickr. The Oriental Home and School album is one of ten sets of First Met’s #HistoricalPhotographs available for public viewing.
First Met gratefully acknowledges the generous financial support of the #BritishColumbia #History #Digitization Program (2015), sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, #UBC.

Mark R. StonemanIt's hard for me to believe that this Red Cross Moving "Fort" was actually used to convey soldiers between trenches. How could that small wheeled frame make it across the Western Front's rough terrain? And how could such a light-weight protective shield offer meaningful cover? -- Photo by Bain News Service, ca. 1914/15. Source: Library of Congress, https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2014699481/.
