Meme featuring two images of The Office character Jim Halpert with a white board. In the first image the white board says "When people travel to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small." In the second, it says "Few people think that they can radically change the future by doing something small in the present."

You have the power. Do #SomethingSmall now. Help a local candidate. Organize on your street. Stand with workers in a picket line. There's no time like today to make the future.

A South Wales Record Society book 'The Commonplace Book of John Gwin,' edited by Madeleine Gray, Tony Hopkins and Alan Withey

Running a bit late for #Archive30 - John Gwin's commonplace Book was #SomethingSmall - but the contents were massive! Still a few copies available at www.southwalesrecordsociety.co.uk/35.htm

#Archive30 #SomethingSmall: This pin was issued in 1911 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Bavarian Primary School Teachers' Association. The BBF had a large collection of commemorative educational #medals which was lost during WWII. Digitised Catalogue (1922): t1p.de/rehuhnhss

Black and white photograph, converted into a lantern slide, of a small cart drawn by a donkey. It contains a large number of identically dressed toddlers, and is being driven by a uniformed nanny.

For today's #Archive30 we're searching for #SomethingSmall

This unexpected donkey cart of toddlers is part of a series of lantern slides used by #20s30s travel writer Kuklos for a lecture on "Switzerland Miscellaneous [and Italy]"

Today’s theme is #SomethingSmall – this tiny map of Goytre was found within the Servants Wages and Expenses Book for David Watts.

Our #SomethingSmall for today’s #Archive30 is this memorial card for the sinking of the Princess Alice with the loss of nearly 700 passengers just after the ‘pleasure steamer’ passed Erith on the River Thames on the evening of 3 September 1878.

Open pages of the book with a black and white woodprint on the left page of a man upside down with a tree and castle in the sky also upside down. On the right hand page there is a tailor armed with clothing scissors riding a goose.

Open page of the chapbook that depcits more world bending woodcuts, on the left there is a hog rowing a boat and on the right a monkey shaving a goat sat in a barbers chair.

There are lots of small things in the British Museum archive, including this 1892 dance card from the Montague Guest collection, with a tiny (c.35mm long) pencil & a pebble which played a part in WWII! #Archive30 #SomethingSmall #BritishMuseum #archive

Two small brass buttons

The #somethingsmall we've chosen for today's #archive30 are these diminutive club buttons.

We hold a lot of club badges - from clubs and expeditions worldwide - but @alpineclub.bsky.social was a late adopter of the badge. Instead it had these club buttons which could sewn onto a jacket.

Title page of the book. Text reads: The Travels of Tom Thumb over England and Wales containing Descriptions of whatever is most remarkable in the several Counties. Interspersed with Many plesant ADVENTURES that happened to him personally during the Course of his Journey. Written by Himself; and adorned with a suitable MAP. LONDON: Printed for R. Amey at Charring Crfoss; and Sold by M. Cooper in Pater-noster Row, MDCCXLVI [1746]. Price 1s, 6d

Passage from the book: On the East-side of this XCounty the Air is pleasant and healthful, and the Soil fertile, espe-cially for Barley: But the Western Part, parti-cularly the North-West, is allowed to be one of the rudest and wildest Countries in England; and I verily think, from my own Observation, that I met with nothing like it in all my Travels, except in some Parts of North Wales. Yet this Country, famous by the Name of the Peak, produces valuable Commodities, such as Lead, Antimony, Marble, Alabaster, Crystal, Pit-coal, Iron. Grind-stones, and even plenty of Grass in the Vallies that lie between the Mountains.

Photo of a small book, bound in brown leather. The spine is damaged and the whole cover shows a great deal of wear and tear.

This small book (15x9cm) from 1746 claims to have been written by the world's smallest man. It was actually the first travel guide especially written for children. Of West Derbyshire it says that it "is allowed to be one of the rudest and wildest Countries in England".

two clear glass eye lenses lying side by side on a red cloth

Round, wooden box with "lenses for artificial eye" written on the lid

Today's #Archive30 theme is #SomethingSmall and these artificial glass eye lenses fit the bill perfectly. They were manufactured c.1900 and are stored in a tiny wooden box.

These stamps from Ecuador, Danzig, and France are all quite small! They date from 1938-9 and were designed to mark the international fight against #cancer.

Henry waited on the great transatlantic liners from Liverpool

Henry Banks Smith. He was a shipwright as indeed was his father Thomas and his grandfather John. At the age of 20 he is living in Roxburgh Street Liverpool and is still an Apprentice Shipwright. I have found him on the crew list of the Oregon in June 1889. He married in October of that year. Her mother was Sarah Eilbeck born 25/5/67 at "Everton". Sarah married Henry Banks Rich on 23/10/1889 at St Mathews Church Liverpool. I have the original, very tatty! Marriage certificate. It is interesting as the VR at the top reminds us this was deep into Victoria's reign

Henry appears in dozens of photos. He was obviously well loved and taken care of within the family. He is with my husbands uncle.

With two of his daughters and extended family. My husband’s grandparents are standing, left.

The theme for today's #Archive30 is #SomethingSmall.

💃 We don't know about you, but we love this small pencil attached to the bottom of a dance card belonging to Josephine Baker. Josephine was a pupil at Mount School, York in 1909 and went on to study Economics at Newnham College from 1915-1918.

This image of tiny hoverflies on a umbellifer flower is just one of a huge selection of images from the slide collection related to the career and interests of academic David B. James, author of ‘Ceredigion: Its Natural History’ and other works.

It's day 16 of #Archive30 and we would like you to share #SomethingSmall from your collections. What teeny tiny items do you hold?

Two vouchers joined together. With text 'METROPOLITAN POLICE. Voucher for SNACK. Available for State Funeral of Sir Winston Churchill. K.G., O.M., C.H.'

#SomethingSmall but for an important occasion. Such snack vouchers were issued to Metropolitan Police officers on duty for the State Funeral of Sir Winston Churchill on 30 January 1965. #Archive30

Small & faded but this is the only photo we have of David Cuthbertson, the biochemist, in his lab. Gives a sense of lab life before modern technology.

Can you spot the classic green and white tiles? Still seen here today!

#Archive30 #SomethingSmall This 1920s invitation was from teddy bears Mary and Peter, addressed to dolls Isobel and Kate. We don't know whether the invitation was accepted, but all four are now part of our collection! @arascot.bsky.social #vintagetoys
