  3. This is how #filmstrips are saved: slowly, one frame at a time. Our scanner continues to run. We'll save as many as we can. Watch each frame come off the scanner today before they're uploaded to the Internet Archive. #digipres

  4. IN THE OFFICE: Scanning rare #filmstrips all day. 100% #lostmedia, destined for the Internet Archive. Zero slop content, just the quiet work of saving things before they're gone forever. This is what media preservation looks like. Come keep me company.

  5. It’s #GivingTuesday.

    While VHS & vinyl get the love, 20th century #filmstrips are quietly turning to dust. I’m the guy scanning them before they vanish. Every finished film gets permanently safeguarded at the Internet Archive.

  6. Donations and patronage keep me able to save #filmstrips. We are way behind, and dangerously close to having to shut down. We aren't eligible for grants, and this is full-time work. Can you help us spread the word?

  11. Did you know that #filmstrips were a low-cost alternative to 16mm movies? Not preserving them means disproportionately ignoring poor school districts, underprivileged learners, and marginalized communities. We could use your help to safeguard these forgotten films at the Internet Archive.

  12. It's time to get started again! I was able to save fifty-one #filmstrips in June. Can I do it again? We're streaming the frames coming right off the scanner, and sharing some original lo-fi music too. Come see how independent preservationists fight to save lost media.

  15. LIVE ON YOUTUBE NOW: Scanning #filmstrips to safeguard them at the Internet Archive. See frames as they're saved, and learn how slow the process really is when you don't have the support for better equipment. All original ambient music too. Help us save these lost films!

  17. I found communities that will take off air TV #videocassette recordings with commercials. They also love newscasts, PBS pledge drives, you name it as long as it was recorded off air.

    Please feel free to forward this post to others who might be interested. Let's keep these old #VHS tapes (and #Betamax) tapes circulating. Links below

    1. Send me a direct message. I collect and digitize science fiction / fantasy convention footage and fan videos or song tapes
