Sending magazines to the Internet Archive @internetarchive

Ed Nisley writes about sending techie magazines to the Internet Archive for scanning.

They want boxes packed as solidly as possible to withstand shipping & warehousing, so I converted nearly all of my scrap cardboard into bracing and padding.

They’re also accepting our 14th Edition of the Encylopædia Britannica (back when folks realized global war was a thing, but before knowing the recently concluded horror was the first), two dozen Tom Swift Jr books (largely responsible for much of the rest of my life), three years of LIFE magazines from the mid-1940s needing no further description, and a few other goodies.

You can read more about Ed’s donation in the post here.

You can find out more on the Internet Archive and donating physical media here. Do check to see if the Archive already has the media you have – instructions here.
