  1. Hey #believeinfilm friends, any ideas for what EI to shoot expired Kodak Imagelink HQ microfilm at? The Internet says "the usual" – 12 ASA.

    The plan is to shoot the test strip in Bronica GS-1 and develop it as Kodak Technical Pan in FX39II. 🤔

  5. This microfilmed document was one of many I scanned from the #NYPL collection of #landsmanshaft and Jewish mutual aid society anniversary journals. This particular one from 1938 was from the Vladimir-Voliner branch #198 of the International Worker's Order (IWO), a communist-affiliated mutual society network. It would have been for Jewish immigrants from what is today Volodymyr Volynskyy, Ukraine. (The M. Rosenfeld can't be the poet Morris, he died in 1923!)

  9. Bit by bit I've been going through many of the things I've scanned and photographed during my research trip to NYC this past winter, and adding the names and context of musicians to my database, and figuring out who they were by looking in old newspapers and genealogy type records. Here's an interesting one that only appeared in one archival source (Philip Juvelier, c.1883–1956) made more curious by another ad I'll share in a later post.

  13. Internet Archive: Digitizing Democracy: Louis Brizuela Takes Viewers Behind Microfiche Scanning Livestream. “Brizuela and his six-person team are currently digitizing U.S. Supreme Court case documents and government records from Canada dating back to the 1930s. The documents are stored on microfiche cards, a flat, film-based format commonly used from the mid-20th century for preserving and […]

  18. Another bit of 1930s #microfilm history: filming the transcripts of the National Recovery Administration and Agricultural Adjustment Administration hearings in 1934-35. The first micropublication project, and a deliberate step to force users to accept microfilm readers and projectors (rather than just making prints).

  27. #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.

  31. The #microfilm news from Yale, Jan. 1934:

    "Perhaps a dozen or more of our professors are greatly excited about the use of film reproductions. Several returned this summer from Europe with great rolls of material. We now have four projectors, two being Leicas, in almost constant use." - Charles E. Rush to Robert C. Binkley

    1933 (roughly) was the time when usable projectors were coming onto the market, and capture-on-film-to-make-prints was giving way to capture-on-film-to-view-on-a-projector
