SITE UPDATES

why libraries are your friend Well, besides the fact that I work at one… I’ve done a half-hearted update to my links page with a few new resources, the most exciting of which is:

The New York Public Library’s Picture Collection is an outstandingly huge collection of images, most pre-1923, from books, magazines, newspapers, prints, photographs, and postcards. There are a bazillion images of interest to costumers, and in fact, if you click on BROWSE you’ll see that not only do they have Costume as one of their selections, but they’ve helpfully subdivided it into time periods and topics (like working class, regional, and occasion-specific costume).
