Update! My contact at the archive replied in more detail and is interested in the photos! She says they'd fit in well with the collection there. She's asking if she can have the originals but I'm a bit wary of that. Might see if I can convince them to take high rez scans. Not sure if my family's consumer scanner is good enough though 😕
Any #digitalarchivists about with suggestions?
Okay #hardware #nerd types and #DataHoarders or #DigitalArchivists...
I'm using #Ubuntu #Linux on an old #iMac with #dvgrab to download the exact copies of all my #MiniDV tapes in #DV format.
But I have to say... This thing is a monster.
Can anyone recommend a laptop with #Firewire 800 that also runs Linux well?
