Porn for film historians

For a wizened, pixel-loathing curmudgeon like me, it doesn't get much better.

The collection of The Media History Digital Library is now ours for the clicking. That means decades of Variety, Moving Picture World, Photoplay, The Hollywood Reporter, Picture Play and many, many more.

Don't confuse The Media History Digital Library with Google Newspapers. These aren't muddy, microfiche copies bought at a library fire sale. The size and quality of the scans and staggering.

Kudos to Eric Hoyt, Carl Hagenmaier, Wendy Hagenmaier and their team of researchers at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

I've been on Lantern surfing the usual suspects since last night when Jon Oye put a link on my Facebook wall. Below are but a few of my preliminary findings.

You may not see me at the movies for several months. If anybody asks, I'm not dead. I'm doing very important top secret work.
