Brewster Kahle has managed to get hold of zillions of microfiche records of journals, newspapers, magazines, etc. (think Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature) and the AI folks are busy digitizing them. They've made headway, and Caitlin Olson at AI sent me this information, in case it whets a research appetite:

  *   This Archive item has some photos and information on the collection: https://archive.org/details/SerialsOnMicrofilmCollection <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__archive.org_details_SerialsOnMicrofilmCollection&d=DwMG-g&c=U0G0XJAMhEk_X0GAGzCL7Q&r=X0Xp_GV0DKcZGu17VvJ_ZFpNhSQwQmmlVFw3kxNu_B0&m=8JGg59QtcPoTcFcQQ0nWa50ZNyPgsSevITfmj4jj8Hs&s=WGz_uKQdKqM1oG7u30oDpR0ZllFCYXCvguBe4tikUJY&e=>
  *   Here's the start to our collection getting digitized: https://archive.org/details/sim_microfilm<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__archive.org_details_sim-5Fmicrofilm&d=DwMG-g&c=U0G0XJAMhEk_X0GAGzCL7Q&r=X0Xp_GV0DKcZGu17VvJ_ZFpNhSQwQmmlVFw3kxNu_B0&m=8JGg59QtcPoTcFcQQ0nWa50ZNyPgsSevITfmj4jj8Hs&s=W9PjAiAW64c_GSYG324n0IQdXGnG9Km7t69lQZ_V2B0&e=>
  *   And here's a spreadsheet with a bunch of the titles we ended up with, as well as the metadata: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1m_QqU3iQqLD7W8VDzxER8WAEqKY86fJWyOMQ8akc7jM/edit#gid=41925053<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_spreadsheets_d_1m-5FQqU3iQqLD7W8VDzxER8WAEqKY86fJWyOMQ8akc7jM_edit-23gid-3D41925053&d=DwMG-g&c=U0G0XJAMhEk_X0GAGzCL7Q&r=X0Xp_GV0DKcZGu17VvJ_ZFpNhSQwQmmlVFw3kxNu_B0&m=8JGg59QtcPoTcFcQQ0nWa50ZNyPgsSevITfmj4jj8Hs&s=ULKtQ6k15GwIFI2pHiTU1KyPVMh2X1ZdqFi2Io2LWw0&e=>
