textile, russia c. 1840-70.

i do want to say the reason i made this blog is genuine love for any library, but especially this one that's digitizing entire museums, hundreds of thousands of books, etc. it's just special to live in an internet age where nearly anything you could want to learn can be found...on the internet archive!

so i've been posting a lot more than 4x per day and honestly it's because i'm overwhelmed with content– i have 500 posts in the queue for this blog. the archive really is so vast...the way i'm still finding new things every day and i've been posting on this blog endlessly searching for over a year...i love you internet archive!
