Physical magazines, individual ads, artwork, merchandise and curiosities in possession.
As I acquire new items they are added to The Vault for safe keeping. Over time I am cataloging and researching the ads within the vault and documenting the discoveries in The Compendium.
You can digitally browse the physical collection by room. Each room is all of the items related to a particular decade.
