What is Postcard Tag?

The Newberry Library's Postcard Tag asks the public to help make collections of early 20th century postcards more searchable and accessible for everyone. You can either classify the printed information on the postcard or transcribe handwritten messages from the original senders. Hosted on the crowdsourcing platform Zooniverse, every postcard is random, so you never know what you're going to get next.

We built Postcard Tag to be a fun and easy way for anyone to contribute to scholarship, build better accessibility, and learn more about these (absurd, strange, wonderful) postcards. The Newberry holds one of the largest postcard collections in the world, over 50000 of which are freely available online--with your help they can one day all be fully searchable for future generations!

sooooo

i may or may not have gone mental and built the zooniverse in Minecraft based on this map 🙈

I didn't follow towards the end I more or less did some buildings that I like (also ignore the giant pink tower and red building and motorways)

here are my fav bits!

• A no weeping sign outside the keepers huts

• Naboos shop🥶

• A stage like from the tundra episode where Dixon Bainbridge may or may not be giving a speech ( fossil hasn't prepared for his arrival or anything it's permanently there)

• The foxes ☺️

Here's a minute long video if you want to see the whole zoo! (It didn't take me five hours no break)

Stephens also just a chicken that wandered over

Tricks of the trade card

John M. Wing Foundation printing ephemera collection

Trade cards—perhaps best described as a mash-up of a business card and advertisement—were popular throughout the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. The Newberry holds about two dozen collections of such cards, including specimens from England, Belgium, France, and America.... Trade cards also offer a window onto pre-Mad-Men-era marketing strategies (or lack thereof). The choice of text and imagery could be a bit random—questionable, even. For example, the Leipig Company used a passage from Hamlet in an advertisement for their Meat Extract; in retrospect, it seems a rather dubious decision to associate a food product with a scene describing poison. Another trade card advertising cough syrup shows children preparing the medicine by heating two kittens in a skillet. With its strange mix of Victorian sentimentality and (hopefully) dark humor, the card nevertheless endorses two universal truths: cats are like medicine and children should generally be supervised in the kitchen...

Advertising trade cards, 1860-1905

In a 2004 interview with the Telegraph, Julian and Noel discussed the Howard/Vince dynamic!

Julian: “I’m a bit arrogant, a bit of a dreamer. I think I’m better than I am and tend towards cynicism whereas Noel is consistently optimistic and when everything goes wrong for me, he comes out on top.”

Noel: “That’ll generally come about through some arbitrary piece of business, like a certain hat I’ll be wearing which he finds ridiculous, but ends up saving us from a race of eagles.”

i've been doing some citizen science over on zooniverse and most of the times it's just vaguely blurry photos of belugas that look more like a png horror image, but sometimes.... sometimes the photos are GOOD

Stumbled over this thing. No idea yet if it's any good or not. Tumblr squad might dig in a bit?
