I haven't seen this source for pulp-era miniatures listed yet.

This is a link which provides over a dozen links to various companies who make suitable miniatures for the pulp-era.

They should be especially useful for when your player's get tired of saying, "Operater, get me the police."

Here's something I found. It'd be nice to go check it out... I'm too far away from California...

The RMS Queen Mary (online)

There's some deck plans, but the image is way too small to really look at...

You know, you never know what you're going to find until you start surfing around...

The British National Archives
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/

There's an archive of Public Information Films from 1945-1951 in there that's really interesting. A lot of interest in germs and defending the country after the war.

And, for that matter, here is the US National Archives.

There's some pretty nice WWII pictures that can be used by pulpsters... Here's a nice pic anyone can use for a character (from the WWII pics select list section):

102. An American officer and a French partisan crouch behind an auto during a street fight in a French city, ca. 1944. 111-SC-217401. (ww2_102.jpg)

... and a good pic of a black female riveter

21. Riveter at Lockheed Aircraft Corp., Burbank, CA. 86-WWT-3-67. (ww2_21.jpg)

I'm not sure this fits, but Ripley's Believe It or Not cartoons started publishing in 1918. It started out with sports, but soon moved to unusual facts.

I haven't been able to find any sort of archive online, but it might be a good source for story hooks. They sell reprintings of the book collections, going back to the first in 1929.

www.ripleypress.com

Does anyone have one of these (or know of an online archive), and do they make good resources?

In 1976, Universal gifted its entire run of Newreels, from 1929 to 1967 to the National Archive, placing them in the public Domain. Archive.org has them all available for free download at http://www.archive.org/details/universal_newsreels.
