The calm pace of our livestreamed microfiche scanning may not show the scale of the work, so here’s a time-lapse revealing how many pages we can digitize in just one hour.
📡 Check out the #lofi vibes of the real-time stream ⤵️

Und ich muss mich korrigieren: die Notiz entstand bei der @slubdresden natürlich nicht erst zur #Digitalisierung (1999-2001), sondern vor der Verfilmung auf #Microfiche (seit den 1970er Jahren). Ein direkter Scan des Negativs ist unter https://www.deutschefotothek.de/documents/obj/90132052 zu finden.

Und das allerletzte Bild auf dem #Microfiche ist wie üblich ... leer (und deshalb auch nicht im Bildindex veröffentlicht).

@internetarchive ever thought #microfiche would trend on the Internet?
Microfiche lovers- now is our day! (microfiche and microprint folks-- you are invited)

I feel very old today, after having to explain what #microfiche was to other teachers in my MEd program.
Ruined a great joke/commentary.

Darunter verschiedenste #microfiche (leider ganz schlecht les- und reproduzierbar) und eben Projektordner. Praktischerweise habe ich auch drei #ordner mit insgesamt knapp 600 #seiten fotografiert, in denen eines dieser parallelen #projekte dokumentiert wurde. Gemeinsam mit entsprechenden Projektberichten, die ich in der Biblioteca #CETESB in #saopaulo eingesehen hatte, ergab sich ich nun ein relativ klares Bild. 3/X

#Technology that I don't think ever existed, but which *should* have...
The #microfiche #typewriter. [1]
It is a typewriter very closely resembling an #IBM #Selectric electric typewriter. The keyboard is virtually identical, though the platen and print head are different. Instead of the platen being a rubber roller, there is a slot with guides, into which you drop a standard-sized plastic film sheet - a #fiche.
The type element - the "ball" - is identical to a normal Selectric element, except for size. It's only a few millimetres in diameter. Typing is virtually silent, because the ball moves only a tiny, tiny amount at a time, so little you don't even notice it unless you watch for a full line of type.
Above the fiche slot is a small-ish translucent rear-projection screen, which shows the text of the page you're currently typing. Operators work in a dimly-lit room, and their faces are bathed in a diffuse, soft white light.

I kinda want to do a thing where I print microfiche of my fedi feed, for two reasons:
1. Historians love that kind of ephemera that shows what daily life is like, and much of fedi will probably not survive for historians to see.
2. I think microfiche is cool.

Remember microfilm? They made it cool! The library had one of those manual readers that have existed since forever, but they also have this computer-aided scanner. Nothing like slapping in a roll and hitting fast-forward.

CW: Old advertisement for lab mice
I've always kind of enjoyed #microfiche ; I'd love to find a computer output microfiche device (print to fiche) but they're rare and expensive :(
I have some #retrocomputing documentation on fiche, electronic circuit references and science magazine 82-93 or something like that lol. I have a portable viewer in addition to the one in the workshop lol. There's something about analog high density storage and the 'archive feel' that my brain likes I guess. -
