New digital archive of 2.2 million film images from first 100 years of photography

Found this earlier, thought I'd share (Not sure if this is the right section, so I'd figure I'd post here): Visit a New Digital Archive of 2.2 Million Images from the First Hundred Years of Photography | Open Culture

Exactly how many years would it take to view 2.2 million images at 5

Let's see
12 a minute at 5 seconds per view?
12,780 in a day.

172 days watching 24 hours a days so half a year. Or 1.5 years at 8 hours a day.

Is there any tagging for search functions?

The questions are inevitable.

Is there anyone person who's seen them all? Are they critiqued and discussed., and ranked in order of photographic importance.

Is there any pictures of my great grandmother in there?

Were any taken with a Pentax? (no)
Are there any that were taken by ME?? Not a chance, even if I were old enough, which I'm not, rumors notwithstanding.

I do have pictures taken of my grand mother in 1915, but none of the great grandmothers.
