Thanks for the feedback, Elizabeth! We'll look for better ways to deploy and arrange things on the homepage.

We're also aiming to add more gateways into the collections based on themes and formats, so, for example, you'd be able to search/browse across all photographs, all advertisements, or all items related to transcultural experiences. The information architecture shifts required to make this happen are significant: we need to change from treating every object as if it belongs to only a single "collection" to enabling objects to be members of any number of collections (like Flickr does with 'sets'). On the interface end of the equation, we'll have to be tactful in designing item pages so they are presented in the proper context and so people can get to appropriate related objects and contextual information.
