Hello, Fediverse! Here's our #introduction post:
The Media History Digital Library (MHDL) is a free online resource, featuring millions of pages from the histories of #film, #broadcasting, and #recorded #sound. We provide access to industry trade papers, magazines, Hollywood pressbooks, technical journals, and more.
Lantern, the MHDL's full-text search platform, enables researchers to query specific words or phrases within scanned pages.
We hope the MHDL has had a transformative impact on the study of film & broadcasting history. The sources we have digitized for open access, and the large-scale queries that our platforms allow, have enabled ambitious research projects and the production of new knowledge.
We look forward to sharing interesting content from our collection and learning about projects that use the MHDL.
