Any hobby media archivists or physical media nerds around here?
It's a really solitary, isolating hobby, but I enjoy collecting old VHS tapes (taped from TV) to digitise and archive lost media content online for other people to enjoy, like old forgotten shows, news updates, old ads (especially old ads) etc. I love the meaning that this random, historical content can have with each individual who connects with it, whether nostalgic, educational, personal experience, etc.
I know there's loads of people out there into this, but they're really spread out geographically.
Is anyone else around here (in the region) into this (or similar activity), and would like to connect over it, with the goal of just nerding out about it, exchanging stuff or forming possible friendships? Possible meetup group if a few of you exist in the area?
