I work in records retention, and the era those documents come from is notoriously lovely quality-wise.

P interesting. Is there some kind of like an algorithm that can reconstruct the seemingly random dots into actual text?

e: is this some kind of housing discrimination thing? what the gently caress is this?

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

yeah you can de-noise images and do reconstruction easy peasy but you need a certain amount of information to start with and the characters that were on the top part of the page are way too far gone to reconstruct, at least from that particular image. A scan under better lighting/compression conditions might give you more to work but if not then *shrug* because this isn't important enough to subject to whatever alchemy that archaeologists use to reconstruct faded text on ancient unearthed parchments. Hell, it's probably not even important enough to bother to rescan.

Apparently the text gets much more readable 50 pages in and says some pretty damning stuff

maybe a repost but

quote:


When the Department of Education quoted civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois, they honored him with a typo.

The tweet said, "Education must not simply teach work — it must teach life," and it credited somebody named "W.E.B. DeBois."

William Edward Burghardt "W. E. B" Du Bois was the first African American to earn a doctorate at Harvard University, and was a co-founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in 1909.

It was Du Bois who was supposed to be quoted. Not W.E.B. "DeBois."

Internet trolls were quick to point out the error, and the tweet was removed by the department three hours later.

Situation solved.

But what already started out as a slippery slope became greasier when a followup tweet was posted with the misspelling of "apologies."

this makes me wonder about if history was actually way more hilarious in person

like iirc andrew jackson's administration was supposedly pretty drat bonkers

Apparently, there are some pretty amazing gray-scale scanners out there that can work wonders. My particular employer chose preservation over digitization at a point because it was cheaper if you can believe it. Most times a simple rescan with current equipment can be a noticeable improvement, but almost everything I've handled from the late-70's early 80's is a really bad copy of a copy type poo poo.
