Browsing the Memorial Hall Museum Digital Collection led me to discover this Crazy Quilt with a Netted Border. The site has options to zoom in on the image and take a really good look at the details (the icons are found on the right hand side of the screen.)
The Digital collection houses about 2,000 items each displayed in a thoughtful manner on the site. Web features hve been associaed with objects appropriately. Objects such as quilts you can ‘zoom in’ to see details journals and documents are transcribed so that you can read them.
One of the gems I delighted in was my discovery of Elsie Putnam’s diary . Elsie was single when she wrote it in 1888 and lived in Deerfield, Massachusetts. You will find transcripts of many of the pages via a drop down menu at the top of the image.
