I’m involved in a project to digitize “lost” episodes of Computer Chronicles that were missed in the first pass at the Internet Archive.

You can watch newly digitized episodes here. More are coming in the new year.

We’re also building a comprehensive metadata database of every episode. Notably the TVDB metadata is not accurate or complete.

You can see that here, noting that it is still a work in progress.

Thank you for the interlacing-preserved files!! For archival's sake I hope you have some sort of Lagarith/ProRes/etc versions stashed instead of just h264, although those would be prohibitively large to share.

Searchable transcripts would be a fun addition! I would love to be able to find mentions of specific software (in addition to a formal segment on it)
