One of the things by which the internet justifies its continued existence:
The Antique Pattern Library, a labour of love that collects for free sharing an immense range of out of print and otherwise unknown texts and other resources on an equally immense range of popular and decorative arts, mostly of the 19th and early-to-mid 20th centuries. If you want to know how to make your own 1920s-style underwear, crochet something that passes for Cluny lace, organise a March and Drill for sixteen small girls dressed as roses, or need "instructions for making flowers of wax, rice-paper, lamb's wool, and cambric, with a great variety of articles", this website has it all.

They are also always in need of appropriately-skilled people to help them catalogue items.
