Reference Library Authentic reproductions require access to a library of magazines, articles and publications from the appropriate period. This section contains information gathered from period sources, both pictures and text, on a variety of subjects to enable you to better produce the "look" of the 19th and early 20th Centuries. updated 20 September 2007  
 
Collection A peek at a few of my favorite things. I (Catherine Bishop) am an avid collector of antiques related to dancing, sewing, and my home town of Nahant, MA. I am in the process of building a database of my collection which will eventually be accessible via this link.
This section is under construction.
