Evoke 2022 Seminar: "The tools, techniques and conclusions of diskmag archeology" by  

The demise of disk magazines has inevitably placed into stasis a traunche of content that was presented in a style that we haven’t experienced since - but with the advent of web technology and overpowered browsers, could (and should) we just harness the frankly irresponsible capabilities of JavaScript to perhaps take some of that data and return it back to a human readable form with the daily convenience we’re used to today?
That’s exactly what we did, and we’ll tell you all how: In this talk, we’ll show you the methods we used to reverse engineer antique diskmags, the necessary transformations the content needed to be presentable on diskmag.net/, and some of the takeaways we’ve made while re-discovering some of the old content.
