archives endless archives

one of my favourite visual resources online
is when the archives of institutions (big national museums, public libraries, &c.)
have flickr accounts

so the next time you have hours and hours on your hands and are looking for some browsing,
for some optical candy, here are a few favourites

Nationaal Archief almost one thousand years and over two million photos in the Hague collection

New York Public Library including a series of cyanotypes of British algae? i love cyanotype

New Zealand National Library awesome awesome awesome awesome

Musée McCord i almost didn't post this until i realized i was staring at Montréal of the mid 19 c.

National Maritime Museum I will be back on the east coast in under two weeks


the National Media Museum you know, ghosts and stuff
