For those of youl interested in the history of architecture and culture then then Osbert Lancaster's perceptive and humourous, British take on it ... 'PILLAR TO POST. The Pocket Lamp of Architecture' is a must read' https://archive.org/details/pillartopostpock0000osbe/mode/2up
@carl So that's what happened to the girl in Don't Look Now
@mia and just as the BL is getting back on its feet, the Internet Archive suffers a similar fate. Looks like cultural institutions seem fair game to any hacker/activist group - apparently based in Russia, rather than their claimed 'enemy''
Terrible news regarding the DDoS on the Internet Archive. Here's the last resource I downloaded yesterday. Antiquities of Mexico, paintings & hieroglyphics, possibly Mayan? Will be using Adobe Illustrator to repurpose/remix. Hopefully Archive will be back avaialbel soon. #Archive #Mexican #hieroglyphics
@mia Thank you. I realise the constraints BL are working with. Great to see the progress already mader ...
Congratulations to the British Library on Restoring access to 1000 of the digitised manuscripts. These are magnificent. I can spend hours study and enjoying these. The level of detail is astonishing. Shame about the UK rights? "Public Domain in most countries, other than the UK." With no download option available, to rely on screen captures to use, is a rather sad state of affairs.
