Happy 10th anniversary Media History Digital Library

[Mike Gebert]

Saw this from Eric Hoyt on Twitter:

10 years ago today we launched the first @mediahistorydl website, w/ a few dozen volumes of Film Daily & Photoplay. Now, we are approaching 3 million searchable pages. Free & open access. Always. Help us sustain this work across the next decade. Donate at https://supportuw.org/giveto/mediahistory

On this 10 year bday, my big thanks to those who got the initial website off the ground: MHDL's visionary founder, David Pierce; Karl Thiede, @footage & Pacific Film Archive for lending magazines; @internetarchive for scanning & hosting; Wendy & Carl Hagenmaier for coding w/ me.

Thank you to all of them! And thanks to the many additional collaborators we have worked with over the past decade. A more detailed description of the @mediahistorydl's project's history & impact is up at https://mediahistoryproject.org/projecthistory.html

...And many more. MHDL is what the internet was made for.
