A collaborative effort by Thomas Levin, associate professor of German, and Adam Finkelstein, professor of computer science, to recover audio from more than 100 year old recordings inscribed on the back of postcards called Sonorines is among a number of innovative projects reported in a story on the University home page. Funded initially and primarily by a substantial two-year grant from Princeton’s David A. Gardner ’69 Magic Project in the Humanities Council, the project will also receive support from the DFR Innovation Fund to build a device that combines custom software with off-the-shelf scanning hardware to transform the cards’ audio data into sound.
