- What happens when you mix baseball cards with famous photographers? I’m loving Mike Mandel’s 1975 Baseball Photographer Trading Cards project posted over at Fans in a Flashbulb.

- Going back even further in time, London Lives is a new online archive that gives insight into 18th century everyday life in England via over 240,000 manuscripts and printed pages from criminal records, coroner’s reports, court orders, and the like.
- The “last great paper trail”—an archive of author John Updike’s papers is in the works [via More Intelligent Life].
- Polaroid auctioned off much of its collections recently, but in the meantime, Lady Gaga and Poloaroid team up to add her portrait to the MIT Museum’s Polaroid archive.
