Only here b/c it has come to my attention that some of y'all didn't know that you NOT have to carry on without the ESTC. We stood up a temporary ESTC site in mid-November and thousands of people have been using it nearly every day since. @print_and_prob estc.printprobability.org/

A quick reminder that the entirety of the ESTC is now temporarily hosted at estc.printprobability.org — spread the word! Many thanks to @NikolaiVogler for the technical lift.
Scholars needing to access ESTC while the British Library interface is down have reached out. In response, we've developed a simple browser tool. It is not public due to data restrictions, but if you need it for research, please send an email. Feel free to spread the word.

Alarming trend, given the recent (and ongoing) attack on the British Library and its systems. @artcrimeprof is quite right in noting how indispensable the metadata describing cultural heritage is — vast risk here, that I fear GLAM folks are woefully unprepared to combat

Ever wondered what the color of early modern book pages can tell us about the text's construction? Check out my video for @BibSocAmer on our exciting tool at @Print_and_Prob, using paper color analysis to solve mysteries in book history: youtube.com/watch?v=OOJCXt-M… 🌈🕵🏻‍♀️

Do register to attend this if you’re in Pittsburgh. Greenblatt’s talk should complement @CMULibraries exhibition featuring our seven (7!) Shakespeare folios, including the Rosenbloom First Folio, nicely 👌🏼

When @print_and_prob collaborator @NikolaiVogler heard that ESTC was down due to the BL cyberattack, he jumped into action. Here’s the site he built estc.printprobability.org
