Most of the images available to HBC are undated photographs. HBC can estimate most photographs with a fair degree of accuarcy, but that is not the same as having a definitive date. Mail order catalogs offer the great advantage in that they are dated and thus definitive evidence of clothing trnds over time. We have initially focussed on building the country pages above for the catalog section. Here we will cross index our catalog pages first by country decade pages. Later we will eventually cross index actual years.
