Ok. I know I get distracted easily. I meant to blog for an exciting finding on the web, and then lost track when went to check the original website for correct spelling. Anyway, I mangaged to surf back.//grin.
"Yahoo Pick" mentioned this:
New York Public Library Digital Gallery
The screenshotNew York Public Library has digitized over 480,000 images in its collections just so you can save your airline ticket money and stay home. The collections contain maps, illuminated manuscripts, photographs, illustrations, and even menus. Standing in the center of a library full of treasures can bring out feelings of excitement and wonder—but also overwhelming paralysis. Where to start? Here's a list of seven things you shouldn't miss:
1. African American history
2. Early prints and photos of Asia and the Pacific Rim
3. Cigarette cards
4. New York City theater marquees
5. Medieval and Renaissance illuminated manuscripts
6. Cyanotypes of British algae
7. Uncle Walt's manuscripts
My favorate out of them all, old menus!
The american cuisine hasn't changed that much.
