The New York Times Archives on Twitter is a great official New York Times account which posts photographs and newspaper clippings from the newspaper's vast collection of print archives. In a recent tweet, the Times posted a fantastic then-and-now photograph of the Flatiron Building, with one photo from 1917 and the other from 2012.
