chocolatepotI bought a couple more magazines on eBay. I can't help but be a little nervous that I'm spending too much and getting ~addicted~, but really everybody spends money on their passions and I've got a paycheck now. I need to figure out what I'm doing with the scans - I might make pages on my blog for each magazine, and just upload all the pictures? How much bandwidth does Blogger give you? Well, I'm trying it now.
Yesterday I looked into the Chapman's library more - there is a tiny card catalogue down in the archive, and I looked up Godey's, Peterson's, Montgomery-Ward, etc. in it. There was one Godey's (1858, I think), and none of the others, so I'm thinking that most of the ones I'm interested in are actually in the house's library, which is sort of interesting. After talking with Tim, I think the sort of books they want to give to the town library are the city directories and high school yearbooks and local histories. Which is pretty obvious, now that I think about it without the same panic I get when I see a Delineator on eBay for $80, that "oh no gone forever from my hot little hands" feeling.
ETA:Well, here is one magazine, not all the scans are great but I can fix them sometime. I bought an 1834 magazine on eBay for $26 including shipping, so that should go up sometime.
ETA2: Well, that ate a lot of my Blogger/Picasa space. Switching to Flickr for scan hosting, I'm not sure I want to buy extra storage space just yet. Except Flickr is giving me sass as well. Um. Give me some more time to think about this.
