According to the ResearchBuzz.com blog, a new historic photography archive is now available.
The Philadelphia City Archive is one the country's largest municipal archives, with about 2 million photographs dating back to the late 1800s.
Online now at PhillyHistory are nearly 25,500 images of Philadelphia; some 2,000 new images are added monthly.
You can search the images by address, neighborhood, keyword or year. Researchers can buy photographs for $10 to $20.
Eventually, this site should have many images of interest to Jewish genealogists, because Philadelphia was home to one of the earliest American Jewish communities. Those familiar with the city's neighborhoods should do better at seeing what's there than this New York girl!
