A Postal Treasure Trove: the Brienne archive of 17th century letters
- dang 11y agoThis is great but I had to go to http://brienne.org/lettersindex/ http://brienne.org/lettersindex/ and then click the boxes icon at the bottom right to see the content.
- sbuttgereit 11y agoIt's a very pretty website, but perhaps too clever for it's own good. Even with dang's link... I still couldn't find a translation of a single letter or a description for that matter. Picture books only go so far, sometimes context or content does matter.
- contingencies 11y agoOn a related note, I am currently working on digitizing and indexing metadata about my collection of over 10,000 antique postcards, a large portion of which date from 1890-1910 or thereabouts. If anyone else has a collection and is interested in collaborating, let me know.
