We've been tracking mentions of an "unknown monster" in digitized newspapers on the Portal to Texas History published over 100 years ago. Are there too many for this to be a coincidence? We invite you to research our newspaper collections to find out!

I just realized:
I can proudly say that programs and workflows I have written and designed are still in use daily in digital preservation setups - up and running since almost 15 years now.
Wow.
That's like digital long-term design in action.
