The calm pace of our livestreamed microfiche scanning may not show the scale of the work, so here’s a time-lapse revealing how many pages we can digitize in just one hour.

Und ich muss mich korrigieren: die Notiz entstand bei der @slubdresden natürlich nicht erst zur #Digitalisierung (1999-2001), sondern vor der Verfilmung auf #Microfiche (seit den 1970er Jahren). Ein direkter Scan des Negativs ist unter https://www.deutschefotothek.de/documents/obj/90132052 zu finden.

Und das allerletzte Bild auf dem #Microfiche ist wie üblich ... leer (und deshalb auch nicht im Bildindex veröffentlicht).
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 […]
#MicroFiction about #microfiche
@internetarchive ever thought #microfiche would trend on the Internet?
Microfiche lovers- now is our day! (microfiche and microprint folks-- you are invited)
I feel very old today, after having to explain what #microfiche was to other teachers in my MEd program.
Ruined a great joke/commentary.
See: The Ipcress File, Bladerunner, War Games, The Terminator and They Saved Lisa’s Brain 😁

Darunter verschiedenste #microfiche (leider ganz schlecht les- und reproduzierbar) und eben Projektordner. Praktischerweise habe ich auch drei #ordner mit insgesamt knapp 600 #seiten fotografiert, in denen eines dieser parallelen #projekte dokumentiert wurde. Gemeinsam mit entsprechenden Projektberichten, die ich in der Biblioteca #CETESB in #saopaulo eingesehen hatte, ergab sich ich nun ein relativ klares Bild. 3/X
#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.

[1] Or #microfilm
I kinda want to do a thing where I print microfiche of my fedi feed, for two reasons:
1. Historians love that kind of ephemera that shows what daily life is like, and much of fedi will probably not survive for historians to see.
2. I think microfiche is cool.
If I wish to print digitised content on #microfiche or #ApertureCard, what printing technology should I use, to obtain, say, 100+ years longevity?
Remember microfilm? They made it cool! The library had one of those manual readers that have existed since forever, but they also have this computer-aided scanner. Nothing like slapping in a roll and hitting fast-forward.
Gestern erfolgreich @bg mit einem #Microfiche generdsniped :D
Mit USB-Mikroskop und Handytaschenlampe als improvisiertem Lesegerät konnten wir das "Booklet" vom blauen Album immerhin entziffern.

Est-ce-qu'il y a des gens qui cherchent un lecteur de #microfiche ?
