Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world

Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

Every time I see this picture it reminds me so much of my dad. Dude looks a lot like him.

... That's also exactly the type of thing I would have made him do, had we been leaving the house at the time. Instead we locked in, had chickens, and survived off canned food reserves and eggs for nearly 3 months until more news had surfaced and there was a reasonable plan on how to stay safe.
