links of random archive sites (old photos, illustrations, old movies, books, art etc)
I'll probably add more with time, please feel free to comment/reblog with more
some of these are open access, some of them have different restriction rules, so if you use any of the images or materials please do some research on the legislation before
any irregularities, if one of these happen to be deleted or something and it's still on the list, please feel free to point out
share so more people can find it!!!!!! there's so many good resources here to use as art references, to use on posts, informational stuff, academic studies and general knowledge on many areas, essays and many other things; so do share around and, I can't stress this enough, add more!
