Summary

Rise of Microfilm explores the history of microfilm, a 20th-century technology that profoundly impacted information access and preservation. It examines how this invention, initially conceived in the 1800s, revolutionized various sectors, including libraries, archives, businesses, and intelligence agencies. The book argues that microfilm's adoption led to fundamental shifts in information management, democratizing access to knowledge and enabling efficient handling of vast data volumes. Microfilm provided a compact, durable, and cost-effective solution, addressing the challenges of managing paper-based records, especially during the World Wars.

 
The book uniquely investigates microfilm's technological evolution, its adoption across industries, and its socio-political implications. For instance, microfilm enabled institutions to preserve fragile historical documents and businesses to efficiently store critical records. The narrative begins with the origins of microphotography, then explores its historical context and impact, and concludes by considering its decline with the rise of digital technologies.

 
By using diverse evidence such as patents, archival documents, and oral histories, Rise of Microfilm presents a comprehensive account of this transformative technology and its enduring legacy.

    America's first intelligence agency, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), was forged in the fires of WWII. OSS agents carried out daring and covert operations across the world, yet their critical contributions and brave work have remained shrouded in secrecy — until now. 
Discover the stunning true story of Steven Bizic and the men of SPIKE team as they descend into darkness, landing amidst the turmoil of a nation torn apart by civil war and years of Nazi occupation. Facing the looming threat from fascists and the insidious influence of communism, the men of SPIKE must navigate a treacherous landscape where trust is rare and betrayal lurks around every corner. Originally penned at the end of WWII, this groundbreaking tell-all has only been recently discovered, shedding incredible light on the creation of the CIA and U.S. Army Special Forces, the chaos of WWII, and the people trapped in between. 
"CODE NAME: SPIKE is... a trove of knowledge, inspiration, and wisdom... relevant in ways few such stories can be... it offers warriors, strategists, and policymakers alike a glimpse into what the dynamics of irregular warfare are, and more importantly, what they are not." - Lieutenant General (Retired) Charles Cleveland Commanding General U.S. Army Special Operations Command, 2012-2015

    Keeping Family Secrets - Shame...

    All families have secrets but the facts requiring secrecy change with time. Nowadays a lesbian partnership, a "bastard" son, or a criminal grandfather might be of little or no consequence but could have unraveled a family at an earlier moment in history. Margaret K. Nelson is interested in how families keep secrets from each other and from outsiders when to do otherwise would risk eliciting not only embarrassment or discomfort, but profound shame and, in some cases, danger. Drawing on over 150 memoirs describing childhoods in the period between the aftermath of World War II and the 1960s, Nelson highlights the importance of history in creating family secrets and demonstrates the use of personal stories to understand how people make sense of themselves and their social worlds. 
 
 
 
Keeping Family Secrets uncovers hidden stories of same-sex attraction among boys, unwed pregnancies among teenage girls, the institutionalization of children with mental and physical disabilities, participation in left-wing political activities, adoption, and Jewish ancestry. The members of ordinary families kept these issues secret to hide the disconnect between the reality of their own family and the prevailing ideals of what a family should be. Keeping Family Secrets sheds light not only on decades-old secrets but pushes us to confront what secrets our families keep today.
