This past week, I did my yearly inventory/reorganization of my collection and, in the process, began to appreciate certain features and characteristics of the collection that lend it a certain personality. In this video, I highlight a few of those features and provide an overview of the collection as it stands in August of 2021. I am making this video primarily for myself and my own sense of posterity, but it may perhaps be interesting to others.

Here are links to more in depth discussions of the topics and systems covered in this overview, listed in the order in which they are introduced in the video:
