BOOM!

I just opened a new shipment of 277 pounds of never seen Filmsort microfiche punch cards from the late 1960s.

This is an ongoing supply of nearly 5000 pounds or more saved for me.

I will curate this and train AI models on the contents. None have ever been classified and all were thrown away in whole form.

This data cost billions of dollars in 2026 value, and it was almost lost.

This all is research across many subjects and has never been digitized.

My pile for scanning tonight…

Leave a light on for me, it’s gonna be a long night…
