I could probably write a book about our collections!!!

I have old magazines from my university studies (Industrial Design), which are all gone because of water damage… And there are the everyday products from the GDR (“German Democratic Republic”), which I collected and archived after the fall of the Berlin Wall — they survived almost all. I have a Fifties collection surrounding me in my home. And I have some hundreds of books about Design, Art, Fifties, Children’s Books, Biographies, Geography, History a.m.o.m.

Love & Peace

Also ‘Achim’ When you say that it reminds you of your own cellar archive, are we to believe that you are storing similar contents?

I wasn’t aware of this particular ‘collection’ though.

Thanks.

I trained as an archaeologist many years ago and love to hear about people working in the field and the type of projects they are involved with; the subject is so rich now. In particular the post made me think about the notion of resilience and how much our modern, ‘civilised’ world really cushions us from the realities of life as still experienced by the majority of the global population. Wont be able to pass the roundabout now without thinking about who lie within… More please!

Or do you think that’s a bit of propaganda!
