In their basic form, collectibles preserve only images of history, not the subject itself. They may not be able to keep time standing still or prevent permanent the loss of culture, but they do provide a glimpse of earlier days each time we steal a glance at the beautiful scenes imprinted on them.
It is this unique benefit of a collectible that can preserve history by preserving our awareness of it. While time marches on, bringing changes we want and some we may not want, a timeless collectible lets us glimpse back with fondness at a place and time we once loved.
Celebrating these historical icons, whether people, places, or events, is easier with something tangible that keeps the memory in front of us.
Whether a custom ceramic trivet, a custom printed stein, an custom Christmas ornament, or a framed picture, we look at the beauty of a collectible not for its function (it helps), but the rich story it holds in our hearts.
Choosing a subject image to feature on a new collectible is the beginning of preserving history. Many published books contain historical photographs of people, places, and events that left a legacy for a community, a region, or the entire world, and those images can be reproduced in a format that can be featured on any collectible you choose. Once an image is chosen, a specific type of collectible can be elected to feature that image. Some collectibles, such as custom glass ornaments, ceramic ornaments, and collectors mugs, allow full color images to be replicated with detail, while etched metal ornaments require some simplification of the design. An image can also be replicated with detail on custom trivets and photographic imprinted metal ornaments.
The options for preserving history in collectibles really are quite broad, and its only our imagination that may need inspired. With all the product options to help us preserve memories of people, places, and events that made the world we know today, it's easy to keep history close to our hearts.
