Object inquiries and secret resources to help solve the history mysteries in your life. Whether you’re a writer, illustrator, museum professional, educator, or student, you might just find this blog helpful and occasionally entertaining. But be warned, I’m not a daily blogger (I’m aiming for twice a week), I’m weirdly random about the things that catch my eye, and I’ve done enough homework to know I don’t want to do yours (well, maybe not unless there’s serious $$ involved).
So watch here for upcoming posts on stuff like:
My Book Shelf (is a Scary Place)
One Man’s Crap, Another Person’s Treasure
Ephemera (if you don’t know what the word means you definitely need to read this blog!)
Big Stuff (objects too big to fit in a museum)
Conservation
The Secret Life of Mount Makers
Route 66 Recollections
“My Eye” Highlights
Iconography
Where the Heck is Svalbard?
Why I love Compass Roses
And whatever else I dream up…see ya ’round “What’s That Thing?”
Excellent, Steph!
Why do you love compass roses? You and your symmetry! First, you make me think about kouros statues, and now compass roses. Can’t wait to read your blog posts.
