I'm looking for archive images of Afghanistan from the 1920s up to the early 2000s. Any idea where to look beyond Wikimedia and ACKU? 🙏

J'ai eu le plaisir de parler au micro de @radiocampus , pour l'émission féministe 'On se lève et on se casse', avec Shakiba Dawod. Une heure pour entrer en détails et en nuances sur la situation des femmes en #Afghanistan , loin du noir et blanc.
