« La photographie stéréoscopique, les projections, le cinématographe surtout, voilà ce que je voudrais faire fonctionner en grand afin de fixer une fois pour toutes des aspects, des pratiques et des modes de l'activité humaine dont la disparition fatale n'est plus qu'une question de temps ». Albert Kahn, janvier 1912. Albert Kahn est animé par un idéal de paix universelle. Sa conviction : La connaissance des cultures étrangères encourage le respect et les relations pacifiques entre les peuples. Il perçoit également très tôt que son époque sera le témoin de la mutation accélérée des sociétés et de la disparition de certains modes de vie. Il crée alors les Archives de la Planète, fruit du travail d'une douzaine d'opérateurs envoyés sur le terrain entre 1909 et 1931 afin de saisir les différentes réalités culturelles dans une cinquantaine de pays. L'ambition du projet l'amène à confier sa direction scientifique au géographe Jean Brunhes (1869-1930), un des promoteurs en France de la géographie humaine. Deux inventions des frères Lumière sont mises à contribution : le cinématographe (1895) et l'autochrome, premier procédé photographique en couleur naturelle (1907). Les Archives de la Planète rassemblent une centaine d'heures de films et 72 000 autochromes, soit la plus importante collection au monde. Pour la première fois, les images du fonds Albert Kahn s'exposent sur la toile. Après une campagne de numérisation et de documentation de près de 10 ans, les collections numérisées sont désormais accessibles à tous. La diffusion de la collection des Archives de la Planète sur la plateforme Open data départementale permet de mettre gratuitement à disposition des utilisateurs, à des fins strictement informationnelle, pédagogique, culturelle et scientifique, la reproduction numérique en basse définition de ce fonds iconographique et cinématographique. Le choix d'une diffusion en Open data inscrit le musée dans une

The Freer|Sackler Library's collection of illustrated Japanese rare books includes over 1,000 volumes previously owned by Charles Lang Freer. Often filled with color illustrations, many are by famous artists such as Andō Hiroshige and Katsushika Hokusai. These beautiful woodblock printed works of art were published during the Edo and Meiji periods (1600-1912). Another group of Japanese rare books more recently added to the Library's collections consists of 67 volumes of illustrated Meiji-period books collected by Robert O. Muller who also formed a superb collection of Japanese prints from the same period which he bequeathed to the Arthur M.Sackler Gallery. Both library book collections are ideal complements to the world renowned Gerhard Pulverer Collection of Illustrated Japanese Books which was acquired by the Freer Gallery of Art in 2007. The Pulverer Collection has been completely digitized and is available online. The Library's digitization project was generously funded by the Anne van Biema Endowment Fund.

We are a Boston collection of fans, players, and authors of Interactive Fiction - which is to say, old-style text adventures. You know. Like Zork. "Twisty little maze of passages, all alike." "Likely to be eaten by a grue." Those games. Not surprisingly, we play and discuss all things interactive fiction, focusing on recent topics or developments in the community. We also demonstrate our own games or experiments in the area. Some past examples from our agenda include: Playing and critiquing various games submitted to the Interactive Fiction Competition at JayIsGames. Demonstrating a program that can create interactive excerpts from an IF game. Learning how an IF game is being used by a student to replicate the logic (or lack thereof) in dreams.
