I recently found a Field Museum Tumblr blog called "Field Museum Photo Archives". It has many great photos from the history of the Field Museum. The photos range from SUE, to the Columbian Exposition in 1893, to the move to the current location in 1920. There are many, many, interesting photos... with great commentary. Unfortunately, the blog hasn't been update since 2015, but the resource is still out there to enjoyed!
