Welcome back to the Archive Channel — check out this image of amino acid sequences from the September 1968 edition of Scientific American. Comment to let us know which your favorite list is! We’re personally really fond of wheat, it seems much more impressive for some reason…
You’re reading the first post of the Archive Channel (an exploration of print/analog media archives around Chicago)! We’ll be starting with some bound periodicals — in the future you can expect to see images from 16mm films, glass slides, and (of course) some really wild artist’s books.
But for now — check out this image from the 1979 issue of the now-defunct High Performance, featuring the Swiss artist Ruedi Schiller.
Hey all! You might want to keep an eye on our blog in the upcoming weeks — in addition to our writings about various projects & new releases, you can expect a bi-weekly foray into Chicago’s vast selection of library archives (microfilm, bound periodicals, rare books, old news, etc.), a series of short essays on the different methods of collating the alphabet, an iPhone app available for download; plus various exaggerations, mic-droppers, flights of fancy, etc.
In the meantime, here is an image of the sky above Meekling Press, courtesy of Google Earth.
