A Virtual Talk by the Scrapbook Restoration Team
Scrapbook is an iconic system that forms part of the growth and development of what is today known as the World Wide Web.
Several years before Tim Berners-Lee's invention, Scrapbook was in use by the National Physical Laboratory. This innovative system pioneered the concept of Hyperlinks on a text-based system running on dumb terminals.
This talk will go through some of the challenges experienced by the team and a project update on where we are today, as well as the next steps in being able to finally read and copy the original Scrapbook disks - believed to be the only surviving set of disks in the world.
