For some, it offers the thrill of the hunt; for others, it’s the wish to preserve something for future generations. The majority of collectors become emotionally attached to their collectibles and their stories.

Just ask any collector about a specific item in their collections, and they’ll be happy to talk about it for hours. Nostalgia is also a strong driving force. It’s most apparent in the historical collections that need a great deal of knowledge and perspective.

People always had a tendency to collect things. In the 19th century, upper-class collectors would collect books, biological and zoological specimens, art, and ornaments that were all viewed as a status symbol.

Cabinets of curiosities were invented in the Victorian era. They were spaces specially designed to organize, exhibit, and store a person’s collectibles. Some of these cabinets became the first museums of curated collections.

We start collecting things in our early childhood. Many of us had our little sets of keychains, napkins, or Legos. Somehow, that urge fades away as we get older, and just a small percentage of people continue to expand existing and create new collections.
