Unlike the other outgoing bloggers on this site, I'm always trying to find ways never to leave my home. And now with the help of the Glendale Central Library, I can browse photographs from its Special Collections Room online. (In my underwear even!)

What's available at this time (with new images added each week) are a handful of historic photos of Glendale people and places, which are regularly featured in Katherine Yamada's "Verdugo Views" column in the Glendale News-Press. (That's Amelia Earhart on the right!)

Take a look at these photographs wherever you happen to be. Or, if you are so inclined, physically visit the library. (Imagine that!)

The Special Collections room at the Library is definitely worth an in-person visit. On a related note, The Glendale Historical Society site has a research page that contains the definitive list of web resources related to local history:
