Welcome to the Route66 photo archive.

In this archive you will find photos of locations along route 66, sorted by location and date so as to give you a timeline of that location.

The photos are sorted by state and location and have the naming convention date-town-location name-author(if known).

• 19xx - The photo was likely taken somewhere between 1900 and 1999

• 192x – The photo was likely taken between 1920 and 1929

• 1924 – The photo was likely taken in 1924

• A month and day are added if they are known.

The order of the town numbering is the order in which you encounter them when travelling from east to west.

The archive is and will remain free of charge and the photos are donated by many different people. If the maker of the photo is known the name is added to the photo name.

If there are photos you consider your property and want them to carry your name or be removed please do let me know.

If you have photos you would like to have added to the archive also please do let me know.
