"Documenting #Jewish #cemeteries and #synagogues over a decade for what became his #book “The Posthumous Landscape: Remnants of Jewish Life in Eastern Europe,” Jewish #photojournalist David Kaufman found helpers and those who got in his way.

“Every place we went, there was someone who knew where the former #cemetery or #synagogue was. Those people were invariably happy to help us find our way and did this graciously, often out of a commitment to preserve Jewish material culture,” the #Toronto-based filmmaker and former #CBC #documentarian told JNS."

Lo Wah Kiu (Workshop) / 老華僑劇場（系列工作坊).

Join for a participatory #theatre #workshop inspired by the work of #DowntownEastside #documentarian and organiser Sid Chow Tan! From organizing with the #Chinese #HeadTax and #ExclusionRedress movement to documenting countless actions against #gentrification and #displacement - Sid’s #art of #activism captured a spirit of class-consciousness, humour, and #solidarity. His vast archive depicts four decades of the struggles, victories, celebrations, and everyday lives of #DTES and #Chinatown communities and organisers. In these introductory workshops, participants will be introduced to theatre techniques that will connect themes from the Sid Tan archives to our lives and neighbourhood issues today.

Please note, these workshops are 3 hours long.

Free admission and no theatre experience necessary! Pre-registration required. Refreshments will be served. #Cantonese and #Mandarin interpretation will be provided. These workshops are presented with gratitude and in solidarity with the many friends, organisers, community television volunteers and staff who made possible the production, broadcast, and archive of Sid’s videos.

Saturday, November 8th, 4pm-7pm.
401 Main Street, #VancouverBC.

»Doku lesen? Handbücher sind für Mädchen, hihi.« Unter anderem deswegen hat Dokumentation schreiben nur einen geringen Stellenwert in Unternehmen und die Welt ist voll mit schlechter (und häufig auch optisch hässlicher) Dokumentation. #justthinkin #documentarian

«How to Write a Computer Manual» found by accident on one of my many wanderings through the internet. The half-title says “Jonathan Price and the staff of the User Education Group in the Apple II Division of Apple Computer, Inc.” The book was released in 1984. #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #documentarian #techhistory

"He told NPR in 1978, 'There's a relationship between attention span and morality. I think that, if you shorten people's attention span a great deal, you are left with only the attraction of power.'

"In 1992, he told NPR that his mission was to make the world a better place through his work, going beyond entertainment. 'That's what we live for, isn't it?' he said. 'To try to make it better.'"

Marcel Ophuls, who chronicled 20th century conflict and atrocities, dies at 97.

@9to5Mac MacWhisper is a pretty great and useful tool if you are a #filmmaker or #documentarian and need audio #transcriptions

To paraphrase Dennis Miller, I'm not getting paid to be any sort of Pliny the Elder and just document all the things; it’s a volunteer gig.

Wenn ihr in der Revisionshistorie in einem technischen Dokukment lapidar "Anpassung Abbildung 73" schreibt, dann macht da bitte entweder eine Referenz auf das Objekt oder schreibt auch den Titel der Abbildung mit dazu. Wenn später irgendwann mal eine Abbildung 54 eingefügt wird, wird die Abbildung 80 nämlich zur Abbildung 81. Und wenn dann jemand – aus Gründen – frühere Änderungen in dem Dokument nachvollziehen soll, wird's das schwierig bis unmöglich. #documentarian #dokumentation #techdok

Because I moved around as a kid, I took keyboarding classes twice, so I’m a very fast typist.

As a project manager leading conference calls with clients, I practiced active listening, taking comprehensive and accurate meeting minutes during the call.

I’d clean them up and send out minutes after everyone hung up.

Conference calls are just Zoom meetings without the video.
