Editors, there are no copyright restrictions on the photographs published by the IDP. If you reprint the accompanying essays, please credit http://www.israeldailypicture.com/ . Have you featured the IDP in your publication?
Teachers and parents of students, the IDP is a great teaching aid to visually put Jewish history and the Bible into context.
The Library of Congress, the source for most of the IDP's pictures, uses the IDP to correct or update captions on some of its pictures, citing the IDP's research as the source.
The IDP's cooperation with other photograph collections in some of the most respected institutions means that the IDP will continue to uncover and publish lost photo treasures.
Among the IDP's published photographic treasures:
- ancient pictures of the Kotel, Rachel's Tomb, Cave of the Patriarchs, Joseph's Tomb
- the visit of the Chief Rabbi of Palestine to the White House in 1924
- the earthquake, locust plague and warfare that hit the land in the early 1900s
- the German general who saved the Jews of Palestine from expulsion - or worse
- Zionist activity: the first kibbutzim, industries, and settlements in Eretz Yisrael
- ancient and beautiful synagogues in Jerusalem before their destruction
- Jewish communities in Alexandria, Aleppo, Samarkand, and Iraq
- the destruction of the Jewish community in Hebron in 1929

Thank you for this blog. You have made me aware of an amazing photo resource. I love comparing the old photos with what Jerusalem, particularly, looks like today. Shalom.
