Archive.org

Took me a while, but I made an archive.org profile and am slowly uploading the multi stuff I've bookscanned and OCRed for posterity.

It is sloooooow as molasses, and I have over a hundred issues of Many Voices to upload, so it's definitely going to take a while.

Also hey, I uploaded that weird mysterious Wayfarer 1 vid, for those of who you were dying to see it! (Never uploading a vid again; I think I had to leave my computer for an hour or so.)

EDIT: made it through three issues uploaded and got clocked as spam because the metadata is nigh-identical except for the date. ...maybe I'll just upload them in year chunks, instead of each individual file, because holy crap otherwise I'll be in a hospital bed by the time I get the whole thing up.

Fantastic! Love the Internet Archive. I really need to get around to scanning some fandom things I have myself.

Are you familiar with FANAC, the Fan History Project? Their websites are fanac.org and fancyclopedia.org, and they might be interested in your material (and you in theirs)!

[sobqjmv_sphinx]

Yes, I am, they're very cool (devoted Fanlore editor here).

D'ohhhh, I feel silly. ^_^; But I figured just in case you hadn't.

[sobqjmv_sphinx]

You're good :) it's a cool site and I do forget about it sometimes.

You can upload additional PDFs to a single Archive page! That might make it easier to upload Many Voices by year. You would upload the first file of the batch and add metadata, then edit your upload and add the additional files.

Yeah, that's probably what I'll end up doing, yearly batches, just cut down on the mass amount of downloads. (Many Voices ran from 1989-2012! THAT'S A LOT OF ISSUES!)
