Ephemera: Fading Symbols of Rural Life
http://historical-ephemera.blogspot.com/2009/03/fading-symbols-of-rural-life.html
Fading Symbols of Rural Life. The New York Times has a beautiful photo essay of American barns. Sounds a little cheesy, I know, but the photos are sad and lovely and make me think of home. Connecticut is offering preservation grants to people who own barns over 75 years old. The barn pictured above was built in 1828. Fading Symbols of Rural Life (NYTimes). Posted by Sarah Lohman.

The Past Predicting the Future. This series of AT&T ads from 1993 "predicts the future," of technologies, most of which have come to pass. I actually remember these ads, specifically the video-telephone booths, and the Movies on Demand-type feature. I thought that was going to be awesome- but impossible! Posted by Sarah Lohman.

I just discovered a little shop on the Bowery: John Derian. The owner and designer, hosts a collection of decopage glassware that is not only fascinating, but well out of my price range:. This is from a series called “Relationships.” He preserves tiny bits of ephemera under glass…I’m, of course, crazy about it. Posted by Sarah Lohman. Public drink,...

Ephemera: A Brief Introduction
http://historical-ephemera.blogspot.com/2006/12/brief-introduction.html
This is me, at age 16. Every morning, over the course of four summers, I slid into my voluminous petticoats and strapped on my corset and went to live in the 19th century. I had needed a job, and a few years previous my mother had risen to a semi-management position at a local “living history” museum. Employment was gauranteed, and it seemed an acceptable alternative to working at the "Piercing Pagaoda.". And that is what this blog about: How I see the 21st century, after living in the 19th.

Posted by Sarah Lohman. Come on Ride the Orphan Train! My mom called me into the living room for this rather odd choice for a holiday feature on CNN: an interview with a gentleman who, as a young boy, was one of the many children shipped west from New York on the Orphan Train. So watch the CNN special and let your heart be warmed. But also remember the children who never saw their families again. Further Reading: The Battle for Christmas. Posted by Sarah Lohman. I'm so shitty I missed this opportunity.

Ephemera: Last Photo of Lincoln Before his Death
http://historical-ephemera.blogspot.com/2009/03/last-photo-of-lincoln-before-his-death.html
Last Photo of Lincoln Before his Death. This is probably old news to all you history nerds out there, but a new photo of Lincoln has been discovered, possible the last taken before his death. It's actually a photo of the White House- but there's a tallish, bearded figure standing on the lawn that the experts are pretty sure is Lincoln.
