You can now access a free, public archive of over 500,000 photographs originally published in The Kansas City Star on a newly launched site dating back over 100 years, thanks to a project with the KC Library. While the images document Kansas City and the surrounding region in detail, they also reflect the newspaper’s broader editorial scope, including national and international subjects, politics, sports, and entertainment. The news articles and clippings saved in The Star’s envelopes date back to the 1910s, and photos to the 1920s. In 2022, The Star gave Kansas City Public library a copy of the digitized photo scans and programmers went to work creating a now searchable database and designers produced the KCStarPhotos.org site, which is cleverly organized and features a “Surprise Me” function that will keep you clicking with archival Kansas City history photos. Access the free archives at the link in our bio.
