OT: Commercial Pattern Archive-Free Week

[LadySeasan]

Hey peoples, I know this is off topic, but I figured that you will enjoy it anyway!

COPA at University of Rhode Island is opening it's pattern archives for free until August 25th.

Login is "guest" and password is "pattern".

Link is: http://www.uri.edu/library/special_collections/COPA/index.php

It features patterns from the early 1800's to the 1970's-80's.  It is awesome.

Now my thing is, you can click on the pattern and see the pieces, but how would one print them?  I'm thinking maybe a trip to Staples, but I'm not sure how much it would cost.  Enjoy!

Hhmmm.. I wonder about the printing as well.  There are some pretty peices I would like to have.

I think I just died a little...

Sounds awesome, but the link isn't working for me.  Anyone else having issues with it?

Edit:  just figured out.  As it's linked in the post has "Link is" included as part of the address.  copy-paste the actual url is working.

Anyone finding the patterns?  I can only access the pictures.  I used this ages ago, and it wasn't difficult!

ok i feel better
i see the pictures of the pattern pieces
but they are small.It would take a tone of enlarging to get them anywhere near useful

Me, too.  Pics but no patterns.
Both IE and Firefox.

I had the same issue.  They also didn't have the pattern I was REALLY hoping to find.  I'm begining to think it may have vanished from existance.
