Since museum-L is such a wealth of information on so many subjects, perhaps there is someone out there who can refer me to any references on collecting miniatures. I am not so much interested in the standard books on miniatures, but a social history perspective on why people collect (miniatures specifically, if such a thing exists). We are working on a small holiday exhibit and are interested in juxtaposing children's holiday toys and miniatures and those created and collected (primarily) by adults for display.
