    Much respect for doing the work, seems quite tedious where you have to pay good attention to detail but also to wait a bunch. Youtube description:

    Ever wonder how government documents, locked away on tiny sheets of microfiche, become searchable and accessible online? Now you can see it happen in real time.

    This is the Internet Archive’s microfiche digitization livestream—part of our effort to build Democracy’s Library by preserving government documents and making them free for everyone.

    Live: Monday–Friday, 7:30am - 12am Pacific Time (two shifts).

    Off Hours: The livestream will cycle through films and images from NASA and other public domain collections at the Internet Archive.
