Google's archive of photos from LIFE magazine has been live for a couple of months now. It's touted as having millions of photos, many never before published (they opened with about 2M).

I see that others have noticed the limit back when it premiered.

It is possible to refine searches with more keywords, coming up with previously unseen photos, like the one below that was in the results for "Walt Disney".
