Welcome to the Online Digital Resource, curated by @thriftedbrandon.
A space to share objects and digitised resources, such as postcards, old photos, sewing and knitting patterns, advertising, books and other ephemera.
Preserving stories, honouring histories and making knowledge accessible.
Some of the resources here…
A view of the port in Ibiza
A 1940s lingerie advertisement

Ballet dancer, early 20th century
More about me & what I want to achieve with this space…
My name is Brandon Gates, and I started my blog on Instagram in 2017. Much has changed in that time, but my love of secondhand items and knowledge has remained strong.
Whilst I love sharing over there, it’s easy for items to get lost in the web of things I post daily . Here, I hope that it will be easier to navigate the resources I’ve collected and will continue to collect in the future.
Where applicable, I’ll link to posts I’ve written about specific items if you’d like to learn more. I hope you enjoy browsing and utilising Online Digital Resource however you see fit. There is value to be found everywhere and these stories deserve to be preserved.
