  Image from the Manly Palmer Hall collection
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-14-2023, 06:17 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - Replies (1)

I found this on Pinterest. Apparently it's from the Manly Palmer Hall boxes but I don't know which one.

It's reminiscent of the style of the 18th century 'alchemical freemason' Johann Samuel Mund.

Hall collection here if anyone wants to have a search: https://archive.org/search?query=Manly+Palmer+Hall

  Alchemy in Ancient Mesopotamia
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-12-2023, 07:22 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Was there “alchemy” in ancient Mesopotamia, and if so, with what was this “art” concerned? Should we even take the trouble of investigating these questions?

  Machine Learning and GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) Collections
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-12-2023, 10:44 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Machine learning has many potential applications for working with GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, museums) collections, though it is not always clear how to get started. This post outlines some of the possible ways in which open source machine learning tools from the Hugging Face ecosystem can be used to explore web archive collections made available via the Internet Archive’s ARCH (Archives Research Compute Hub). 

A technical article that might be of interest to people interested in building/searching/cataloguing large sets of images:
