I'm currently archiving a lot of my schools stuff (old newspapers scanned and OCR'ed, VHS tapes digitized and restored, photos, etc.) and I've been struggling for a while on how best to implement a browsing system or for how to actually make things work [01:28] You can upload them to archive.org. [01:29] I can give you an FTP drop or you can upload them yourself. [01:29] If it's enough items I can give you a collection. [01:31] I was thinking about that, but wasn't sure if they would qualify as being notable enough - that does sound like the best way to do things, though. [01:34] I don't care about notability. [01:35] I only care about it being a notable amount of files. [01:35] Like over 75 [01:37] *** chirlu has joined #archiveteam-ot [01:37] Well, its still in progress, but there will probably be ~150 3-8 MB PDFs for the school newspaper archives, and then another 150 x264 videos or so [01:41] Just threw an example newspaper that I scanned up to IA: https://archive.org/details/SavantWinter2001OCR [01:41] adinbied how are you scanning them? [01:44] I've got a Canon flatbed scanner hooked up to my computer and because each newspaper page is larger than the scanner, I scan it in quadrants at 600 DPI. I then take the four files for each page and use a panorama stitcher (PTGUI) to combine it into one image. Then I'll go through and crop/rotate/color correct each page, and then downscale the resulting image to 25% of its 55 MP resolution. I'll then use a png to PDF [01:44] converter to get everything into one PDF, and then I'll run it through ABBYY FineReader to OCR it before everything is done. [01:47] So yeah, just scan [01:47] We will automatically OCR them too [01:49] *** alex____ has quit IRC (Quit: ZZzzz) [01:50] SketchCow, here's a tree of what all I've got so far - currently trying to figure out how to organize everything and allow future people to be able to search through this easily: https://pastebin.com/raw/1w6TD0sH [03:09] *** Stilett0 has joined #archiveteam-ot [03:12] *** Stiletto has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [03:13] *** Stiletto has joined #archiveteam-ot [03:13] *** Stilett0 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [03:18] *** Stilett0 has joined #archiveteam-ot [03:20] *** Stiletto has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 265 seconds) [04:52] *** hiroi has joined #archiveteam-ot [04:57] *** Stiletto has joined #archiveteam-ot [04:59] *** Stilett0 has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [05:30] *** Stilett0 has joined #archiveteam-ot [05:33] *** Stiletto has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 492 seconds) [05:36] *** Stiletto has joined #archiveteam-ot [05:40] *** Stilett0 has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [05:56] *** Stilett0 has joined #archiveteam-ot [06:01] *** Stiletto has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 492 seconds) [06:02] *** Stiletto has joined #archiveteam-ot [06:02] *** Stilett0 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [06:05] *** Stilett0 has joined #archiveteam-ot [06:09] *** Stiletto has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [06:11] *** Stiletto has joined #archiveteam-ot [06:11] *** Stilett0 has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [06:15] *** Stilett0 has joined #archiveteam-ot [06:16] *** Stiletto has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [06:21] *** Stilett0 has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [06:23] *** Stiletto has joined #archiveteam-ot [06:37] *** Stilett0 has joined #archiveteam-ot [06:40] *** Stiletto has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [06:44] *** Stilett0 has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [06:47] *** Stiletto has joined #archiveteam-ot [06:58] *** Martle_ has joined #archiveteam-ot [07:00] *** Martle has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [07:10] *** Stilett0 has joined #archiveteam-ot [07:12] *** Stiletto has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [07:12] *** Stiletto has joined #archiveteam-ot [07:15] *** Stilett0 has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [07:23] *** Stilett0 has joined #archiveteam-ot [07:25] *** Stiletto has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) [07:31] *** Stiletto has joined #archiveteam-ot [07:33] *** Stilett0 has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [07:36] *** Stiletto has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 255 seconds) [07:39] *** Stiletto has joined #archiveteam-ot [07:40] *** Martle_ has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [07:49] *** Stilett0 has joined #archiveteam-ot [07:55] *** Stiletto has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 633 seconds) [07:57] *** Stiletto has joined #archiveteam-ot [07:59] *** Stilett0 has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [08:00] *** Stilett0 has joined #archiveteam-ot [08:01] *** Stiletto has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [08:35] *** Stiletto has joined #archiveteam-ot [08:36] *** Stilett0 has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [08:47] *** m007a83_ has joined #archiveteam-ot [08:50] *** m007a83 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [08:53] *** m007a83__ has joined #archiveteam-ot [08:56] *** m007a83_ has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [09:01] *** Stiletto has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) [09:01] *** Stiletto has joined #archiveteam-ot [09:11] *** alex__ has joined #archiveteam-ot [09:30] *** Stiletto has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [09:31] *** Stiletto has joined #archiveteam-ot [09:45] *** Stilett0 has joined #archiveteam-ot [09:48] *** Stiletto has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 360 seconds) [09:48] *** Stiletto has joined #archiveteam-ot [09:50] *** Stilett0 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) [10:57] *** Mateon1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 600 seconds) [11:00] *** Mateon1 has joined #archiveteam-ot [11:58] *** BlueMax has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) [12:09] *** hiroi has left Be back later...
