Yesterdish a cool idea!

I posted about this site at KT and thought it would be good here too.
Their mission is to save old recipe cards and boxes. You can send in your scanned in old cards and then they put a pin in the map for each location. You can view the old recipes.
From the website
"The basic idea here is to rescue recipe boxes from estate sales (or anywhere else) and preserve as much of what's there as possible. The secondary goal is to tag and categorize these recipes to get a better sense of American cooking and its regional variations.

Not to get too metaphysical, but recipe cards are a particular art form all their own. And recipe boxes are cultivated gardens of this art. People would spend their entire lives with the box in the cupboard or even on the counter, sometimes pass it down through their children, and yet, these boxes increasingly are ending up at estate sales. Worse yet, most of the buyers just want the box and throw out the contents.

Recipe boxes from estate sales are orphans and they need and deserve to be loved."
