Bonavista Archives

Bonavista Archives was established by the Bonavista Historical Society in partnership with the Bonavista, Newfoundland and Labrador and the Bonavista Historic Townscape Foundation. The Archives began as a natural outgrowth of the collection and research done by the Bonavista Historical Society and the Bonavista Museum. The collection began with a few genealogy related items and grew into a substantial collection which now includes church records from thirteen communities in the area. The Archives has since grown to include business ledgers, indentures, photographs, postcards, maps, architectural plans, and audiotapes.

gollark: CPUs have to execute x86 (or ARM or other things, but generally a documented, known instruction set) very fast sequentially, GPUs can execute basically whatever they want as long as it can be generated from one of the standard ways to interface with them, and do it in a massively parallel way.
gollark: It's not very efficient to have one thing do both because being specialized means they can make specific optimizations.
