I was scanning a few photos today from a 1920s sales newsletter for Royal Typewriter Company for my book, and – since it took some effort to actually get it – I thought it would be nice to preserve *all* of it.pic.twitter.com/5TLY3OUHPV
Scanning the oversized volumes on the library’s small scanners seemed like days of work. Instead, I set up a tripod with my iPhone in the library, grabbed my little Bluetooth remote.pic.twitter.com/in9KmXeNoZ
Only a little over an hour later, I had all 376 pages photographed. I even took photos of white pieces of paper to see where the shadows were, and used it as a mask to fix uneven lights in the library.pic.twitter.com/MJ1LDTwCWl
And now five years of Royal Standard – 50,000+ words – are on Internet Archive for anyone to read: https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Royal+Typewriter+Company%2C+Inc.%22 … (Sure, this is not the best quality possible, but much better than nothing – particularly since I also OCR’ed all the text, making it searchable.)
I love feeling like a good historian/preservationist! And there are so many tiny things there that mean a lot, for example this “Royal progress in Poland”: https://archive.org/details/the-royal-standard-1924-9/page/n3 …
(I know I haven’t sent many book updates recently, but I’ve been working hard on the typesetting and particularly visuals. Over 200 photos are already in the book, and I’m proud of many of them that I found, and some that I took. My goal is to send a newsletter within days!)
In the meantime, please enjoy this photo of an awesome Typewriter Car.pic.twitter.com/qqoPOCVegv

Do you like that tripod/iphone adaptor? If so, can you tell me what it is? I've tried to shop for one, and then get overwhelmed and close my browser. :)
I haven’t used it much. It feels… kind of unpleasant when it locks? But it did its job and came recommended: https://www.studioneat.com/products/glif
I love mine! Marcin, it’s interesting that it feels unpleasant to you when it locks—for me, it’s a sweet little security click.
