We've spent many an hour clicking through the goods at Found Magazine's archives of all things lost and found, and here are three more of our favorite online repositories of discarded ephemera. Voyeuristic thrills guaranteed.
The name refers to those 3.5" square photos from the mid-20th century: Square America is a trove of found vintage snaps, organized into themed exhibits (some favorites: The Menagerie, History of Summer, Just Married).
Bill Keaggy, who shows off highlights from his staggering collection in the new book Milk Eggs Vodka: Grocery Lists Lost and Found, parks his full gallery of finds at The Grocery List Collection. And it's not all Wonder Bread and Cheetos.
From the earnest, heartfelt 1980s mix tape for a crush to the 1969 recording of a grandma singing Three Dog Night's "Joy to the World" with her grandkids, the mp3s made from found cassettes at Tape Findings (all downloadable) are like little podcasts from the past.
