Has DPReview managed to find a way to stay online? I hope so

When I first made the switch to digital back in 2002 with a pair of Nikon D100 bodies, there were three sites that I’d visit regularly. One of those three was DPReview, and it’s remained a constant source of information and entertainment for me ever since. When the news broke in March that DPReview would be shutting down forever and that 25 years’ worth of great content was going to disappear forever, I was more than a little shocked.

Last month, it was revealed that DPreview was figuring out a way to archive all that content so that it would be available forever, even after new content ceased to be added. In the meantime, they’d still post while the archive process was ongoing. Now, another month later, the notice that DPReview would be shutting down appears to have disappeared from the site’s homepage, although there has been another update.

We’ve featured many free online archives so far, including those of newspaper photos, historic images, and sound effects. And now there’s another database we want to share with you. It’s small in size for now, but it’s of utmost importance!

A Serbian photojournalist group has started this database to illustrate violence against women and do it properly. It contains photos that can help journalists, writers, and bloggers tell a story without re-traumatizing the victims with graphic illustrations.

Located at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia, the Library of Congress Packard Campus was originally built as a nuclear bunker. It stored $4 billion in gold, and would’ve been the location to which the President would have been taken had the need arisen during the Cold War. Now that this potential need no longer exists, it is home to 6.3 million pieces of the Library of Congress’ movie, TV and sound collection.

It has miles of shelves, 35 climate controlled vaults for sound recordings, safety film and video tape and 124 individual vaults for flammable nitrate film. It’s also a complete lab for the preservation and restoration of cinema’s finest moments. In this video, we get to take a look inside the Packard Campus, and see some of the archives and restoration rooms.
