5000 archives is quite a milestone - and no better way to celebrate it than the publication of the new permanent home for the 'Corpus Vitrearum Medii Aevi' - a stunning collection of 28,000 images of stained glass - especially for those who thought we were just about holes in the ground.
🎉 An Exciting Announcement 🎉
This week the ADS surpassed 5,000 archive collections! We wanted to give a big thank you to everyone that has allowed us to reach this milestone.
