First feedback / resources

Firstly, let me say that I’m completely overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response that came in within the few days the project has been online. We have already received a wealth of materials, and many more are scheduled to come in. Expect to see more scanned goods already within the next days! And please, do not hesitate to get in touch if you have something to share.

In the meantime, I have added a “Resources” section, listing other repositories on the web that feature digitised scene-related materials, as well as a selection of the most useful databases keeping track of the scene’s “born-digital” artefacts.

Finally I would like to point out that we have a page on Facebook, so if you would like to see newly digitised scene materials in your timeline, make sure to “like” it.

Here we are!

Welcome! Some of you might have received the flyers about this project at Revision 2015 or at a different occasion. “GOT PAPERS?” is dedicated to preserving material artefacts of the scene – everything that is not digital and thus is in danger of disappearing from scene history, such as papermags, flyers, letters, stickers, and so on. Read more about it in the About section.

While the high-quality scans are hosted on files.scene.org, this blog is to serve as a newssite to display the newly added items. Obviously, the more people provide items to be scanned, the more news are to be read here! Two dedicated sceners did the first step: Menace and Pandur, who provided us with their collections of demoparty magazines and brochures. If you want to follow in their footsteps and have your scene materials professionally scanned in order to preserve them for future generations, then please do get in touch!
