Preferably searchable by location and/or date. Thanks!

Look for historical societies with online archives at your location. To me, that would be the best bet. Good luck.

National Archives and Library of Congress.

Your local library system -- or the system in the geographical area you are looking for -- may have a database of photos.

Is there a more specific theme that would narrow the options? (cityscapes, people, fashion, art/museum collections, toys, etc.). I enjoy the curiosities presented in the Public Domain Review.

They have a general list of collections:

And they have regular articles that highlight certain themes, such as this one about games:

Another place that lists a wide range of collections is the Internet Archive:

Thanks, all! I've used many of these successfully. I'll try the others.

I find the LOC database really difficult to navigate, unfortunately. Do you have to have the special handshake? 

Thanks again!
