Sylvia Aster and Danielle North labored for nearly a year to produce what they believe is the most significant contribution to the historical study of foundation garments and lingerie yet available. Consisting of over 2200 large scale (144 d.p.i. or greater resolution) scans of individual commercial catalog pages, from 1946 to 1978, this CD-ROM also features an HTML document with a click-addressable keyword index. For the lover of the garments pictured, it is a godsend. For the undergarment historian, it is a unique resource, which will allow - among other things - the popularity of a given garment to be traced over the years included in the study. This is an archivist's dream! [Catalogs included: Alden's, Bellas Hess, Lane Bryant, J.C. Penney, Sears, Wards, and Spiegel.]

Due to the resolution of the scans, all the text of the advertising copy is easily readable. Where possible, the condition of the images has been significantly improved. Both PC and Mac owners can access the JPEG images on this disk, and the HTML click-index can be opened with your web browser. The images will open directly in your browser, by clicking on the index keyword links. For $30, which includes postage and handling, you can help us keep our sites alive and growing!

The details (please read carefully!): Payment must be in the form of a postal money order, as our duplication provider wishes to remain anonymous. Please leave the 'pay to' space blank. Do not send cash. It is risky to send cash through the mail. If you can deal with these limitations, and wish to help us, send in your order today.
