Open Culture scours the web for the best educational media. We find the free courses and audio books you need, the language lessons & educational videos you want, and plenty of enlightenment in between.
The software for this search engine is all custom-built, and all crawling and indexing is done in-house. The project is open source. Feel free to poke about in the source code or contribute to the development!

The Marginalian has a free Sunday digest of the week's most mind-broadening and heart-lifting reflections spanning art, science, poetry, philosophy, and other tendrils of our search for truth, beauty, meaning, and creative vitality. Here's an example. Like? Claim yours:

Individual 4km x 4km images, tiled by the Digital Orthophoto Quad (DOQ) Index, producing almost 1,600 Tiff and MrSID images for the 189 paper quads (Dec. 1995). View interactive map download instructions
The original 4km x 4km images (produced in 1995) were scanned at 250 dots per inch (dpi). Each scanned quad, based on the paper quad index layer, was registered to MA State Plane NAD27 in ARC/INFO with the REGISTER command. After registration, the images were converted to grids. In Arc's GRID module they were then clipped of map marginalia and merged with neighboring sheets. The resulting grid was projected into NAD83 MA State Plane meters. Afterwards, the grid was clipped by a DOQ template and each clipped grid was converted back into a TIFF image. The quad images are stored with the DOQ tiling scheme to facilitate storage of the images and allow for faster drawing times for local map extents. The image name is an index sheet-ID composed of the first three digits of the x and y NAD83 state plane coordinates of the image's lower right corner, prefixed by the letter 'q'. For example an image that covers part of Northfield, MA, with lower right corner coordinates of 125000m 983000m, is named q125983. See the index map.
The same paper maps were scanned for the seamless statewide mosaic image, but at 500 dpi (in late 2000-early 2001). Because of their large file size the scans were registered directly to the NAD83 MA State Plane meters coordinate system instead of to NAD27 and projected. The images were converted to grids and then clipped of marginalia, merged with neighboring sheets, cut into the DOQ Index-tiled 4km x 4km blocks, and resampled to 2-meter pixel resolution. The grids were converted to Tiff images and fed into Lizardtech's MrSID Geospatial Encoder 1.4 to produce the statewide mosaic. The MrSID software requires that all images included in a mosaic have the same pixel resolution. In order to achieve the best image quality, rescanning all the maps at 500 dpi and resampling to a consistent pixel size (2 meters) was chosen over resampling the original 1,600 250 dpi images, which have slightly varying resolutions (approximately 2.5 meters). The images from this second scan of the maps were used to create the ArcSDE mosaic layer IMG_USGSQUADM (in March 2008).
MassGIS does not sell or distribute paper copies of USGS Topographic maps. Images of these maps, of multiple vintages and with full marginalia, may be downloaded for free from the USGS topoView website and the USGS Historical Topographic Map Explorer.
The USGS has a new topo map download website at: You need to zoom in to the area of interest, check the US Topo box, then click the blue Search Products button and the maps for that area will appear.
The PNG image is 600 dpi in RGB color with a transparent background, suitable for print or digital products.

A R E N D T M A R G I N A L I A The Hannah Arendt Collection includes hundreds of volumes with marginalia and annotations, and it is our goal in preserving this collection, to scan and digitize all of the pages with Arendt's unique markings. The examples below (in PDF format) represent the beginning of this process, which has been supported by a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Each listing indicates the size in megabytes and total number of scans (including covers, title pages and table of contents where appropriate). This collection is organized alphabetically by the author's last name. Click the cover image on the left to view/download PDF.
This week on Spark - A look at the history of marginalia, and a movement to annotate anything on the web. Democracy? Free for all? Maybe both! Also, a look at the impact today's gender stereotypes may have on artificial intelligence design. And exploring the connection between technology and sound.
A modern journal (OK, 1990) with notes in the margin. This style is common for journals with small illustrations or figures that can go in the margin. The marginalia break across pages and stack exactly as in our Requirements examples. 2ff7e9595c
