Came across this #CorelDraw 2.0 sample disk while doing some late night eBaying:

The disk was in rough shape but I was able to read a few of the bad sectors by spamming 'Retry' in WinImage. A good number of files were intact.

Hey #digipres & #jhove specialists!

I can't understand why TIFF-hul-61 is an error (https://github.com/openpreserve/jhove/wiki#tiff-hul-61).

Value 6 for Compression is JPEG. But the TIFF 6.0 specification includes it as a valid compression scheme, doesn't it? Why and where would it be "deprecated"???

"Why don't you just apply for a grant?"

NFPF Basic Preservation Grants. $1K-$20K. Film collection + film lab + institutional status to qualify. Grant pays to make film prints of what you already have. I made 1,300+ available for the first time. Not the right kind of public access. uncommonephemera.org/donate #preservation #digipres #archives

DLA Marbach created a storage media quartet for an internal training session. It is currently in German, but translating it should be easy since it is a mail merge application.

Feel free to use, extend, translate...!

Encore un billet de blog de @BertrandCaron très pratique pour analyser des collections numériques. Je suis d’ailleurs tombée sur des images avec ‘Exposure Program’ = ´9’ il y a 3 jours à peine!
