In the Halls of Heritage: Exploring Our Museums Page
Last week, we took the time to detail the contents of the Community section of our site. This week, we’d like to explore the most recent addition to this section, and survey some of the intentions behind it. We are speaking of the Museums page, and we are delighted to offer information and links to a number of incredible spaces which curate and care for occult materials and artifacts.
A Context for Readership: On our Community Section
By now, many will have found our previous blog posts to be informative and explanatory in regards to the development of this project. Many will have also drawn upon the resources & information contained in the Publishers section of the site. We would now like to take the time to introduce another unique space within the project. Namely, the Community section.

On the Use of Images
