THE ULTIMATE LIST OF ONLINE RESEARCH RESOURCES SUMMER EDITION

From online museum collections to a niche archive of Iranian dresses, research away!

Back in lockdown times, we started compiling lists of online research resources in an effort to fill in the gap that closed libraries and exhibitions had created. Things have started opening again but researching and accessing archives from all over the world from the comfort of our screen is one of the good habits we inherited from 2020. Summer is the perfect opportunity to dive into the spiral of archival fashion images, magazine scans, and niche museum collections. This list has you covered.
