Brenthurst Library
The Brenthurst Library is a private repository of Africana in Johannesburg built by Harry Oppenheimer in 1984 as he started to disengage from the family's mining interests.[1] It houses a collection of some 20,000 volumes,[2] including rare manuscripts and documents. Among these were the only complete record of the proceedings of the treason trial of Nelson Mandela,[3] until the papers were handed over to the Mandela estate in November 2008.[4]
Notes
gollark: If websites can display images off the local disk with `file:///` URLs and the like, find image files on disk by randomly generating plausible image file names (lots are like `IMG_20210304.jpg` so quite guessable), and seeing if they load right.
gollark: That `<img>` thing gave me an interesting idea for a fingerprinting technique.
gollark: Presumably it's making something try and open some kernel thing, but why would that *BSOD*?
gollark: ```ini[{000214A0-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]Prop3=19,18[InternetShortcut]IDList=URL=file:///./globalroot/device/condrv/kernelconnectHotKey=1585IconIndex=7IconFile=\\.\globalroot\device\condrv\kernelconnect```
gollark: Fascinating. It seems to be doing things.
