Happy Valentine's Day to the 2nd love of my life: 4,000+ #filmstrips from the 20th century that nobody else wants. I've saved over 1,300 of them so far, all free at @archive.org. The rest are at risk.

This is how #filmstrips are saved: slowly, one frame at a time. Our scanner continues to run. We'll save as many as we can. Watch each frame come off the scanner today before they're uploaded to @archive.org.

This is what happens when filmstrips are ignored. The binder has failed. The dyes are smeared into random goo, its images lost forever. I've rescued 1,300 before this happened to them. About 3,000 more are waiting. Every day I can't afford to scan, the risk increases.

NEWLY RESTORED AT @archive.org: This 1950 #filmstrip from General Electric was used to help workers in industry select the correct electric motor for their application, and unexpectedly contains adorable illustrations.
