I still use one occasionally through my library job but digitization is making the need rarer every day.

The dept at the library I work at has a memory lab that allows us to digitize everything from slides to 8mm film to vhs tapes, camcorders, and burned dvds of home movies. We even had equipment to read a floppy disk for someone the other day!

What you have to understand about early film is that drugs were legal.

Quincy, the 16 year old (17 in June!) cat, is vocally complaining the most. Pretty sure she called me an uncaring mother f*#%er, determined to starve her eldest unloved daughter to death.

The cats are all all convinced this is utter BS. They have never wanted anything more than this food. I guarantee you though that if it was theirs, they would know there was medicine in it and refuse it on principle.

Thanks! It’s hard being in the middle of the country sometimes. Harder still when my special interest is early American History. 🤦♀️

Nice! Understandable! Please let me know if you manage anywhere in the Midwest! Sadly I don’t have funds to travel east anytime soon! I can only manage when my spiffy big Clark Family Branch in St. Louis (where I work part time in history and genealogy) gets the big names in their Post Event Space.

But I am a professional, a certified interpretive guide, and filled with adrenaline so I gathered up the confidence I’d gained in giving tasks in countless DAR meetings and got through it.
