dmcgarry Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hey came across this, it's a 1869 Franz Wertheim tool catalogue that had been acquired by Princeton University and has been digitally scanned. thought some of you might like a look, only problem is that volume 1 is in French but Volume 2 is all the illustrations. http://pudl.princeton.edu/object.php?obj=qr46r156v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorkTheWood Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 That is really cool. I recently did some freelance digital preservation computer work for a library council and came across some pretty amazing items like the one you posted. For example, there was an address book from the mid 1800's for Buffalo, NY. It was organized by street, and then the name and house number of each family was listed for that street. Different time for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
