Following a link off of boing boing to the The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library Photonegatives Collection at Yale. The photographic collection is quite amazing search for "Roosevelt" and there is a great photo of Teddy Roosevelt in a ridiculous "Western" getup from the 1880's.

Most interesting to me was a search using "Marinetti" as a keyword which returned 6 pages of photographs taken by F.T. Marinetti an Italian fascist, poet and at the forefront of "I Futuristi" - the Futurist movement which was a pretty radical change in art obsessed with modernization and other aspects of technological advancement. F.T. Marinetti wrote the Futurist Manifesto which outlines the premises of the movement. Marinetti had a fascination with technology and war and several of his photographs are of Italian soldiers in WWI. I don't agree with Marinetti's politics but his affect on art and especially art in Fascist Italy, and his assertion that the governement of the state influences art is something to chew on.
