I had to do a history of video a few years ago for GA Power Company. I don’t know if it applies to your video, but I found a really neat trick was to go through the sound library and add nat sound to the picutes to give them some extra life. It’s not like I invented the concept, but it is often overlooked. I’ve got a clip on my website…

Anything by Ken or Rick Burns. Or anything on the History Channel about anything from before around 1900.

I’d go to IMDB.com for to look for Ken Burns and the rest.
I’d also highly recommend the documentary The Kid Stays in the Picture. If you’ve got time to take things a bit further, you can get effects like these by matting out and object from a photo and placing it over another photo. If you apply different motion paths to them you can really bring things to life.
One simple thing to remember is to import your photos at the highest resolution you can. This will allow you to zoom in on sections without them becoming blurry.

the famous “ken burns” style uses narration a lot,
something you might not be doing.a really good photo montage, pictures, & music, and about 3 minutes long, so maybe more up your alley,
can be seen on the beginning of the movie “Soylent Green”
i remember when i saw the movie as a teen thinking how good this opening titles sequence was.
it’s basically a montage history of the 20th century in 2-3 minutes (well, up to 1974 or whenever the movie was made!)
apparently Harry Harrison, the writer of the novel the film was based on (good read, no silly ending like the movie)
suggested it as a way to bring viewers into the reality of the story.kinda old school, but good

There’s a movie called LaJetee from 1962 by Chris Marker that is a story all told in stills. (It was a short that was remade by Terry Gilliam as “12 Monkeys”). It’s been on VHS and DVD, though I’m not sure it’s still in print.
