Resource: Virginia Woolf photo albums

12201076253?profile=originalApologies if this has been posted before. I've just come across Harvard Library's high-resolution scanning of all of Virginia Woolf's photo albums, covering her life during the years 1890 to the late 1940s (continued by Leonard after her death in 1941). Many famous faces here, including her mother Julia Jackson (frequent model for her great aunt Julia Margaret Cameron), father Leslie Stephen (compiler of the first DNB), E.M. Forster, T.S. Eliot, J.M. Keynes, Lytton Strachey, her sister Vanessa Bell and nephews Julian and Quentin Bell, and many others, including a childhood collection of cartes-de-visites. The scans (of the album pages themselves, not cropped to the individual photographs) are of excellent quality, and the interface easy to use. There are six albums, for which the direct links are as follows:
