My interest (for obvious reasons) is caught by online or digital collections curated by… well, by all sorts of people. I’m especially interested by public institutions like libraries, national galleries, etc using online galleries as a way of reaching the wider public. I’m also interested in the opposite – collections which work better in the face to face (I’m thinking of the national archives and their collections in remote indigenous communities…fuck, regional centres. God forbid they actually get action out to _really_ remote communities. Who aren’t white.).
This is another one I’ve just found: http://www.printsandprintmaking.gov.au/, which is the national gallery’s prints and printmaking… collection? I guess you’d call it that.

The image I used in my 8 songs from 1935 that I LOVE 8track was from Shorpy, home of wonderful Olden Dayes images.

extraordinary accessory
extraordinary theme
In the 1920s, if people had a party, they had an extraordinary theme. You know, the Sitwells would have a ‘paradox party’ where you had to come as a new paradox. But now invitations come covered in banners like a bad website. People can’t be bothered to throw a party without getting it sponsored by vodka manufacturers or ghastly luxury goods companies …. It’s so squalid and dispiriting.
