Traditional origami Model list

[LEARNandTEACHwithFUN]

Hi all,
Please tell me where I can find the list of traditional Origami models?
Thanks.

On the surface, your request appears quite simple.
However, locating a comprehensive list of traditional, public domain models will very likely involve a considerable amount of time & research expertise .
Most of us are familiar with the crane, simple frog and lily as potential examples.
However, even with those stated, many diagrams are copy written.
I would encourage you to contact Origami USA or the British Origami Society for some direction.
David Lister is well know for his origami research.

You might even google " Traditional origami in the public domain " .
I would be wary of opinions versus fact .

This is Not the THE list of traditional models, but may be a good start, with some errors and omissions.

1. http://www.davidpetty.me.uk/
2. Select purple Diagrams button on the left.
3. Select the first link: Models of the Month

Ahhh, yes !
You are certainly right, the David Petty grouping is an excellent assemblage of " traditional " models.
I had completely forgotten about it, been so long.
For folding and teaching purposes, these models are a nice representation.
I do however, have the unsettling feeling that many of the models that he presents as " traditional", may actually have a designer behind them, but is not credited .
Odd that there are no Japanese, Korean, Spanish nor Chinese names ...

Thankyou gordigami, Thankyou HankSimon.
I will check the links you both provided and search Google for more.
Also ask Origami USA and the British Origami Society for help as you suggested.
Thanks again.
