National Geographic launches 'Found'

To celebrate their 125th anniversary National Geographic have dug through their archives to create a new Tumblr Blog called 'Found'.

The blog contains many photos that you will have never seen before as they have never been published.

The blog showcases photographs that reveal cultures and moments of the past and allows for contributions. Due to the age of some of the photos background information has been lost so visitors are invited to fill in the blanks.

The collection is a great window into the past and is like a journey through the history of photography from the last 125 years.

Take a look at the blog here.
