As Mashable.com reports, the non-profit has joined Tumblr to showcase “FOUND,” a collection of rare photos from the National Geographic archives. According to the site, most of the photos have never been published, and were rarely seen by the public until now. National Geographic hopes digitizing the archive will also help identify the original date or location of the photos, since many are missing that information.

This one made me chuckle.. Someone should have shared this with the populations of Mid-East, which probably explains why we saw a wave of regime changes across Tunisia, Egypt, etc.
