由珍妮弗·阿尔伯斯 - 史密斯
多么伟大的是亚马逊？虽然我很欣赏的加急出货，远及以上的，我关于它最喜欢的事情是所有的机会来观看完整的电视连续剧，新的和旧。
当然，这已经不是什么秘密，我的大风扇Downton Abbeyor that I love period dramas. So when Amazon Prime recommended the BBC production Lark Rise to Candleford, I jumped on the opportunity to fall in love with a new show. The series features four seasons of absolute greatness, and I love it. It takes place in the late 1800s and follows the story of how a postmistress (yes, mistress, not master) takes the small town of Candleford by storm.
Here at Gale, we just released a really intriguing archive called史密森收藏在线：贸易文学产业的商品化. The name and content can seem daunting, but, believe me, it’s fascinating. And when I watched the above-mentioned show and saw mail carriers riding bikes for the first time (most people only walk at about three miles per hour; the utilization of the bicycle enabled these mail carriers to move along their routes at speeds closer to ten miles per hour–what a difference!) as well as engaging examples of how farm workers used to toil day-in and day-out before the first steam tractors and planters were designed and built, I began to see this archive in a whole new light.
当然，我想更多地了解这些类型的发明意味着人们，我想知道他们是如何改变生活。作为一个营销人员，我想知道这些发明是如何推销给那些购买他们。这个集合了这一点。
Nancy Gwinn, Director of Smithsonian Libraries, speaks more about how you can take a look at a trade literature catalog to learn so much more about how it was used, how it was marketed, how items were repaired, and more. Check it out in the video below:
As an added bonus, here is just one of many images that shows both a drawing of the latest advances in farm machinery along with a photograph of it in use.
This archive truly has a wealth of material with not-yet-tapped possibilities.
