Starting a sticker archive website
Hi all,
As I’ve fallen in love with vintage stickers, it’s made me incredibly sad to realize that there are seemingly no established sticker ephemera digital archives. I am predominantly focused on 70/80/90s. For context, I am an art student and currently do archival work for my main income.
Does anybody here know of any online archives? I will be reaching out to Amy Lynne from the Sniff Stickers archive, as her website has been down for a while it seems.
Secondly, I am brand new to all of this and will be searching facebook as well, but do you think there’s a chance that sticker collectors would be willing to collaborate with me and let me scan/digitize/upload high quality images of their collections? The idea of art like stickers eventually disappearing makes me so unbelievably sad, especially in a world full of AI.
I know there may be copyright things and such, but if anything I could start an unestablished archive blog that be more official in the future.
Any thoughts would be helpful, thank you 💖
