welcome to my curio cabinet

Greetings! I'm Peri [she/they/ey, adult]. This blog is where I post my findings from Wikimedia Commons and Smithsonian Open Access. These images are all free to use - in art, websites, games, you name it - with varying restrictions. An explanation of how I tag different licenses [and other terms that will be used on this blog] is under the cut. If you make anything using an image sourced from this blog, I encourage you to reblog it with a link to what you've made! :3
