Shout out to Pine Manor College for the snowy picture of their campus in 1947. ❄️

It is officially !! Can you hear these intricate minature decoy birds singing? The collections of Digital Commonwealth don't just have documents and photographs, they also include images of 3D collections. Because these aren't 2D objects, there are images of each carving from different angles. These birds were carved by Russall Pratt Burr of Hingham, and were donated to the Castonguay Carved Bird Collection at West Yarmouth Library.
