Help me get a document scanner 📰 

This is the type of project I will gladly donate to! The glorious history of the USSR must be preserved!

@Lady Izdihar I went to donate to the campaign, but it has already met it's goal, I'm so glad people came together to make this happen for you! Can't wait to see some of the good stuff you've got to upload.

Nice, you already got there. Props to every one who donated.

You rock, comrade! Such a great project and I can't wait for you to share your great collection of historical treasures!

The fact that you have a chest full of soviet documents is just fantastic.

I'm so happy the goal was already reached. Can't wait to read some of the documents you'll share with us!

Using the scans of all those old texts could also open up the door for text analysis via R programming language too. Exciting to think about!

This would be really good project

just noticed looking at the page for the scanner you're looking to get that it outputs images in .jpg format which is prone to compression artifacts. would probably be worth looking some more to find one that scans directly to .tiff format which is lossless, though i wouldn't know the price difference and might not be worth it cost-wise

I support your cause of preserving Soviet history and hope you succeed in getting enough money for the printer Comrade

Would you set up a website or something similar to access these?

Good job everyone! You did it! /highfive

Donating rn. Love your work keep it up and say fuck the haters!

I'm super happy you're already got the goal! Let me know what else you'd need

Looks like it's funded as of me writing. Would extra donations go towards anything?

You can use an android app called Vflat. It's very easy to use and can natively convert to OCR. You might want a tripod so you don't have to hold it but it's not necessary.

The goat 🙏

You can use a simple camera and some software to scan them..a little manual work but it can work

This is an important project to preserve Soviet history for both posterity and so that current Marxists can learn from both the historical successes and failures of previous socialist experiences. I wish you good fortune, comrade. ✊🏼

It would be a great service to humanity to digitise your collection, Izdihar

I currently have no money but a bunch of old books of first hand accounts of the USSR. Maybe I can donate those to you to use them in your future projects instead?

congratz on reaching your goal, comrade!

very excited to see what treasures you have, and thank you in advance for sharing!

Peace be upon you, comrade. Congrats on achieving the goal already! It is very hard to come across any sources that are not published by western corporations when researching primary sources from the soviet era regarding its politics and peoples. The English language repertoire still in circulation on this matter is sadly riddled with anticommunist accounts presented as scientific and fully truthful. Pro-soviet voices of the time of common citizens and workers deserve to be heard, too. This project will be a game changer!

alaikum assalam Comrade ✊

Glad to see it's done so well, that's great!

Will you make a video regarding Islam and Christianity under USSR?

can't wait for this!

oh wow it's already reached

@@qoutesamuraiii2: Could you show us your husbands outfits as I’m a guy and would love to do some cosplaying

That's a fantastic treasure trove you've got there. How did you come by it?

you're cool!!!

where do you get these documents and books?

please digitize yiddish literature from 20s to 50s

You're already over your goal, time to throw up the next gofundme so i can donate

well I know where my 20$ is going!

Every time I see you you're always engaged in good work. Very commendable, easily among the best content creators on this site it seems. Good luck with your Gofundme, I'll be glad to contribute if I can afford it.

Finally I found you 🙂 please, contact me. P.S. Made in Czechoslovakia collector's support 😘
