i did enjoy looking at old thesis on my university. seing typewriter written thesis with hand drawn plots in graph papers, original gel images, glued in pictures...
those theses are adorable scrapbooks of stress, sweat and tears.
that are so precious
Not really relevant, but: word processors were just starting to be used when I went to college, but I still mostly preferred using my portable electric typewriter. During my junior year the G key broke off and disappeared, so all my papers from that point on have the Gs written in by hand. If they ever invent time travel, I'm going to assume that enough other people are going back to kill baby Hitler and I'll slap the shit out of 20-year-old me.
that's a gargantuan grind. go and get your garish young self.
And so damn infuriating when you need them forty years later lol. I'm currently in the middle of some really obscure maths at work and my only reference is a hand typed paper from 1983 with super critial plots on it, but it's all been scanned in and put online at the lowest possible resolution. It's torture!
ouch,
