Super8database, and Super 8 in general, in university research

[Eivind Mork]

Super 8 has been the media for the homes, and have been mostly forgotten by official archives. I was therefore very surprised when I last year received an e-mail from two researchers at a university in Germany, an e-mail that eventually would lead me back to “my own” university to attend some Super 8 related presentations.

You can read more about how my hobby project very unexpectedly got attention from academia in their work for preserving Super 8 history in my article at super8database.com.

Your database has become and is still continuing to be an incredible reservoir of Super 8 knowledge! Thanks for all of your continued work!

Thanks, Osi! We just passed 2800 covers here this week, by the way :-) 8548 films in total. Slowly and steady going forward.

Eivind,

An excellent article. Congratulations on the research team recognizing the outstanding work that's been put into your site.
