They are still out there, like this postcard I found last year from the Hawaiian I with Milan Guanko Tikis. Next up is archival news photo documentation on places that have little or no info to date. There's lots of information just waiting to be found. The internet is churning up more and more of this stuff, and the historical sites are an untapped resource (such JP's Barney West article referenced by Sven, Abstractiki's Islander bank photos, and Uncle Trav's research). I recently got this old news photo showing the exterior of the Junkanoo in DC - this stuff can be found! The personal home photos are also on the A list. Some recent favorites include the old photos that Luau Hut posted from her mom's restaurants in Washington DC and the Bahamas, the Tonga Hut photos, the photos that Abstractiki found from the Islander in Stockton, and Sabu's photos from the Kon Tiki in Hawaii. I vote for the vast untapped resource point of view - there is a treasure trove of swag just waiting to be uncovered. DC
