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.

Ephemera: The Past Predicting the Future

http://historical-ephemera.blogspot.com/2009/03/past-predicting-future.html

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.

Via The Education of Oronte Churm. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Posted by Sarah Lohman. A Few Notes on 'Pai'. I was paging through one of my favorite cookbooks,. The American Heritage Cookbook,.

New York: 2008, 1978; 2009, 1609. From The New York Times via DJ Bryan. Then/Now, a Series by David W. Dunlap. The assignment in 1978 was simply to illustrate "The City Observed: New York," a guidebook to Manhattan by Paul Goldberger, who was then the architecture critic for The New York Times. It's well worth taking a look at this photo series. There is a cool flash application that allows you to use a slider to scrub back and forth between 2008 and 1978. Also from the New York Times. That it became a f...

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.
