There may be other collections; I would expect them in design school libraries, for instance, more so than in a public library. Under current US law, the patterns you mention would not be public domain: they would still be in copyright, to the best of my knowledge. http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ15a.pdf<br><b>References : </b><br>50 years of sewing No. There is a vintage pattern library of scanned envelope photos/drawings, but it is not public:

I know theres a few fashion schools in your area. Parsons and Prat..maybe their campus is a walk-in type. They would most likely have what your looking for. As for public libraries...try to go to a big one and maybe they will have something like that!<br><b>References : </b><br> I’ve been to LA and went to FIDM, and in their library they had a bunch of that type of stuff.
