Have you noticed how many blogs display collections of one kind or another?
Lots of people collect things -- stamps, baseball caps, shells -- you name it. There was a time when peoples' collections were housed and displayed either in albums of some sort, or in cabinets. Now many collectors are using blogs to collate, display, and explain their collections.
I've become fascinated with the whole notion of Blog As Collection. Here are a few collection blogs I know of. I'll add to the list over time as I discover other collection blogs.
- Chair Blog - "Chairs, Chair designs, Chair designers, and Chair manufactureres"
- Chocolate Blog - "All things chocolate brown and gorgeous shades of blue"
- Diners, Roadhouses, Drive-ins, Joints & Dives
- Ethnic Group Posters
- Fruit Species - "All fruits: Common, exotic, rare fruits & vegetables around the world"
- Guitar Noize - "Guitar news from the furthest corners of the Interweb!
If you know of other interesting blogs in this genre (maybe yours?), please leave the name and URL in the comments.

Thanks for the mention! I should maybe change my strapline, as you said it is more of a collection than a news blog!
And a great collection it is! ;-}

One I recently found is Art Deco, which collects images from the 1920s and 1930s.
Another, which is not always work safe, is Sexy Witch.
Thank you for those additions, Mark -- NSFW and otherwise!

Thank you for finding Chair Blog.
Your chair blog is terrific -- and quite novel as a collection blog. I continue to enjoy it.
