Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) I started to work with a curator-at-large in England that volunteers for my Archive. He buys items he wants scanned in the USA, has them shipped to me and I scan for him. Recently he picked up a lot of VIP Playboy Club magazines. I had forgot all about the Playboy Clubs and didn't know they even had a club magazine. Fascinating time capsule material. Internet Archive Search: VIP playboy club teoli Top right: Hefner and Barbi Benton 1972 I had a few people contact me in the past asking if they can help with the Archive. That is as far as things go. They flake out and never reply after I respond. It is good to get some new blood into the Archive for items I probably won't find / think of. I have a huge diversity of scope, but it can always be broadened. <><><><> Selection from Weekly World News Archive - DDTJRAC Edited December 2, 2021 by Daniel D.

Premium Member Raaf Sundquist Posted December 2, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted December 2, 2021 Wow. I just looked at a couple of these. Very high quality scans...and a glimpse into what now seems to be a foreign and far off world. It's like propaganda from a parallel universe. Thank you for sharing.

Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 Sure, happy to do so. Actually, the original scans are much, much higher. I usually scan at 600 to 800 dpi and reduced these scans about 80% in res. The slow internet here precludes uploading super high res. So, I try to strike a balance of decent res scans and occupying the internet here. You never know when your material may be the last extant copy of a thing. Don't sign your name to garbage res. Then again, I'm open content, so money is not an issue. If I sold stuff for money, I guess I send in crap res and watermark it. Open content you can do as you like. I'm trying to finish up with the Playboy VIP lot. Got about 8 more to do. Then hope to pull our film scanner and finish up year with some 16mm scans. It is a good way to end a year... vintage cine' film...my favorite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
