In 1948, The Wright Brother's Estate donated 300 glass plate negatives and 2 nitrate negatives to the Library of Congress of photos that the Wright Brothers snapped between 1897 and 1928. Of the 300+ photos, 200 were taken between 1901 and 1911 to document their first forage into flight. Pretty spectacular!
