March 27, 20206 yr As of today, March 24, 2020, the Internet Archive will suspend waitlists for the 1.4 million (and growing) books in our lending library by creating a National Emergency Library to serve the nation’s displaced learners. This suspension will run through June 30, 2020, or the end of the US national emergency, whichever is later. https://blog.archive.org/2020/03/24/announcing-a-national-emergency-library-to-provide-digitized-books-to-students-and-the-public/

March 27, 20206 yr A couple of catalog searches: "Ironwork": https://archive.org/details/nationalemergencylibrary?and[]=ironwork&sin= "Blacksmithing": https://archive.org/details/nationalemergencylibrary?and[]=blacksmithing&sin= "Metalwork": https://archive.org/details/nationalemergencylibrary?and[]=metalwork&sin= (NB: Searching "blacksmith", "anvil", or "forge" doesn't give particularly good results, so I wouldn't bother.) 3 hours ago, pnut said: I borrowed Early American Ironware by Kauffman yesterday.

March 29, 20206 yr Oh MY! I don't think I can read 1.4M books that quickly! Talk about doing some skimming I'd better hit the book . . . files. Frosty The Lucky.
