Archives

The Getty Research Institute houses the Franklin D. Israel papers, 1967-1996. An archival collection consisting of project drawings and records, with the bulk of the material being architectural projects from the late-1980s to the mid-1990s; documents from his professional career; and a small series of personal papers.[3]

gollark: I might actually start eventually™ cryptographically signing the updates, wouldn't that be COOL and FUN?
gollark: No, the build system is a mess of shellscripts, a small amount of perl, a node.js program for Lua bundling, and a python script which generates the manifests/hash stuff.
gollark: Anyway, this should allow a working potatoOS™ install to be shipped as only threeish or fourish files!
gollark: It would be fully eldritch, but opening portals to the fourteenth plane is currently unavailable in Python.
gollark: I've actually managed to convert much of the potatOS code into a single file now! It's amazing what you can do with a somewhat eldritch build process and lots of fiddling!
