IN THE OFFICE NOW: Scanning almost-lost #filmstrips, a format no one else is saving, for future upload to the @internetarchive. #lostmedia #digipres
With your support I've been able to save eighty more #filmstrips since January 1st, all available free on the @internetarchive, but there are more than 3,000 still waiting. Nobody else is saving them. Your continued support means more nearly-lost media saved.

March update: $394 of $30,000. Not good.
I've scanned nearly 70 #filmstrips since January 1 and fully restored five. All free on the @internetarchive. Still driving Doordash to pay the bills.
3,000 left to scan, ~1,000 left to restore. Keep me funded so I can work through them.
IN THE OFFICE: Scanning #filmstrips all afternoon and evening for future upload to the @internetarchive. Come keep me company while I save this institutionally marginalized nearly-lost media before it's too late.
