There are many wonderful resources available, in forum of books, in person exhibits, on-line exhibits, and even person blogs by people with knowledge and the willingness to post it. Even movies from historical periods have great costumes to see.
Here is a place for you to share the things that you find with everyone else on the forum. However, copyright and internet guidelines apply and this forum will be actively moderated to make sure that this happens.
Please do not post pictures from any books unless you are the author of the book with the authority to share such a picture.
Please do not post pictures (or links to them) of any objects unless you have specific permission to do so. We may ask you to show that permission or remove the item.
Please do not copy any written information from a blog, a museum's site, or any other reference. A brief quote for a review of a published piece that falls under copyright guidelines is allowed; anything else will be removed.
Please do not link directly to images on a museum's website. If you know of a museum with an on-line collection worth viewing, please link to the museum's main site and tell us how to see objects in the collection. Direct links into a site will be edited or removed.
Please do tell us the date, location, and publically available contact information about any exhibits that are happening. Please do write reviews of books that you think that people would enjoy. A link to a site where the book can be ordered is fine as long as it is a direct link and not something where you would profit personally from the sale. If you own pieces and want to share pictures of your treasures that would be wonderful.
I appologize for the strict guidelines, but they are necessary. We have been fortunate to have the support and assistance of many individuals and museums in creating this wonderful project. We want everyone to know about the resources that are out there, but we also need to respect their intellectual property rights and in no way do we want to endanger those relationships.
Please do check the guidelines again if you see new topics in this post as guidelines may be modified at any time. Other than that, thank you for sharing all of the wonderful resources that are out there!
Thanks,
Robbin
