Curator's Notes
Visiting the 20th Century. The scope of the Hawkins Strongbox online collection has to date been focused primarily on items dating from the late 19th century. We will soon be expanding that focus quite a bit as we feature items from the 20th century as well. Archivists at the Victorian Mechanical Museum inform me that they have just recently cataloged a rather important document from 1953, and hope to have it available for online exhibition soon.
The Mysterious Lady Hyperion. We have received a number inquiries of late regarding the identity of Falynne Hyperion, who has been mentioned recently in relation to the ever enigmatic Society of the Mechanical Sun. We will be introducing you to Miss Hyperion in short order; her 1882 cabinet card is being prepared for online exhibition even as this missive is being written. Look for it during the latter part of the next week.
Chronologically Speaking. If you are new visitor to the Hawkins Strongbox, we highly recommend you spend a few moments exploring the Hawkins Strongbox Chronology. It organizes the information derived from the Collections Items into a year-by-year linear history.
Special Thanks. Our thanks and gratitude are extended to both The Heliograph and The Steampunk Librarian for recognizing our online exhibition and recommending us to their intelligent and most sophisticated readerships. We are happy to include both sites in our catalog of Academic Referrals.
