sewing needles

Tools from another time: vintage tape measures and tailors'

rulers, the standard-bearer for precisely measured fabric and

black and white photographs of New York City

Relics of a by-gone era: inspirational typography, taken from

old hotel laundry service tags

A homage to history 

The perfect patina: timeworn (and well-used)

 workbench clamps

Heirloom quality: antique tools and trimmings from the trade

J.Crew introducing Wallace & Barnes, a collection for men inspired by the traditional workwear, old military uniforms and classic outdoor gears. A few years back Frank Muytjens, head of J.Crew men's design team, was rummaging around an old antique shop upstate New York, where he stumbled upon a shoebox full of photos. When flipping through them, he came across a snapshot of two men fishing. Written on the back was only this: Wallace and Barnes, 1928 and a name was born.

Open Access Manuscripts Library: Oriental Manuscript Resource (OMAR)

OMAR was built at the University of Freiburg (Germany), in cooperation with the Center of Informatics of the University of Tübingen (Germany).
The databank contains images of approx. 2.500 Arabic manuscripts (in full text, 134.000 images) from Mauritania together with the corresponding bibliographical metadata. The scans were taken from microfilms, stored at the University of Freiburg, whose originals are preserved at the IMRS (Institut Mauritanien de Recherche Scientifique) in Nouakchott (Mauritania).
The microfilms where made by Rainer Oßwald, Ulrich Rebstock and Tobias Mayer during several research trips in Mauritania between 1979 and 1997.

A detailed description of these undertakings can be found in
Ulrich Rebstock: Maurische Literaturgeschichte (= MLG), vol. I-III, Würzburg: Ergon Verlag 2001, vol. I: Einleitung.
Maurische Literaturgeschichte: contents and introduction (in German, as PDF-File)
The databank was realized with the financial support of the Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg and the German Research Association (DFG).
