When Toronto Reference Library staff opened cabinets full of historic newspaper collections after COVID-19 closures they were met with a smell usually reserved for fish and chips.
The odour was their first clue that they'd have to take action if they wanted to save the newspaper collection that was stored on tens of thousands of microfilm reels and microfiches...

I first heard of it in Ben Hecht's memoir and, thinking it might be just journalistic mythological lore, sought to confirm it. There is a December column in the Chicago Tribune by Burton Rascoe mentioning it and this same author mentions it again in his own memoir. The Chicago Herald and Recorder isn't anywhere digitised but the Chicago historical Society has a microfilm of the 1919 print run. #Chicago #microfilm #ChicagoHistory #VicenteBlascoIbanez #BlascoIbanez #Literature

Just learned about
aperture cards - "a type of punched card with a cut-out window into which a chip of microfilm is mounted".
Holy, are they æsthetically pleasing.

The total time invested in this was less than 30 minutes, so don't expect the next Blair Witch Project.

Honestly: I trust in paper (and additionally other media eg. #microfilm) as an archive medium. Look for "#paperbak" on the internet.

The members of this church research their #ancestors based on their religious beliefs. For many decades, they have been saving church records and many other records worldwide on #microfilm. The microfilms can be researched on the Internet, ordered, and viewed at so-called family history centers.
