This opens the door to data-driven cultural research — research that uses algorithms not as replacements for interpretation, but as tools for pattern detection, correlation, and exploration at scale."

  7. Update. Here's a great opportunity to #reuse older #data for contemporary #climate research.

    "An archive of over 1,600 sets of meteorological, magnetic and tidal observations taken from 1706-1915 from across the globe has been digitised for the first time."

  12. In the end, I'll have to take down the ads once I leave because I won't be able to protect them from scams.
    Evidence? I explained why the spoofed email actually from "s64games.com" is NOT related to the ad. Reply was "I still think it's not a scam".

    All I can do is instruct my parents never to trust email, which severely limits their ability to participate in society. Sigh.
    Rant over.

  18. Ok fedi! Our #library #makerspace got gifted a Kodak Reels Film Digitizer by a very kind patron. So on the one hand YAYYY because we can increase the number of formats for our #digitization service. On the other hand BOOOO because this thing and all similar models supposedly suck? What I've read is that:

    a) frames can sometimes be out of focus,
    b) what should be rollers do not actually roll,
    c) it captures frame-by-frame and then saves the resulting mp4 in a non-original framerate,
    d) the resolution/color range/contrast/other quality metrics are all bad,
    e) it's slowwwwww,
    f) splicing tape jams it,
    g) it can't do sound,
    h) there's no officially obtainable firmware updates to improve any of the above.

    However, I've also read that GOOD 8mm reel digitization setups jump you up into the ≥ $5,000 range. Plus we already have this thing now.

    I've read that there are mods/hacks available for this device, are those recommended? Presumably some kind of like VHS-decode mod could add sound capture, but tbh that project is wayyyyyyyyyyy over my head.

Ah, yes, let's bring back the IBM Selectric Composer fonts because who wouldn't want to resurrect the typographical equivalent of a rotary phone? 😂 Apparently, some folks have so much free time that they've decided to digitize and scale fonts from 1961. 📠 All hail retro fonts, because nothing screams cutting-edge like 60-year-old typeface technology! 🤦‍♂️

  36. Local newspapers tell the story of our communities, and efforts like this are making sure those stories are preserved.

    Digitizing newspapers keeps history accessible and searchable for future generations.
