About
We have been searching for a year. The words "Global Slideshow Library" did not yield good answers. The Library of Congress has over 25 million items searchable and there was not a single answer. Slide shows are at least 40,000 years old. More modern is Power Point (1984). Several million slideshows are created in Power Point, but there is no Library dedicated solely to lending them and also displaying them or parts of them. How is that possible? Examples exist. The United States was at war with itself in the 1860s. One half of the people thought it was an excellent idea to go about owning slaves. When was the first American museum dedicated solely to the history of slavery opened? You guessed it in 2015. How is that possible? In 1850 there were no cars. No one calls that generation of people idiots. The problem is that "You don't know what you don't know" The Library of Congress has no slideshows and in Sweden you don't have a museum with only slideshows. Well now we have it, but everyone has it. We are Globally possible to visit. You are here right now.
How could Power Point slideshows be forgotten?
At the Library of Congress and the Internet Archive?
There are 80 million members In Slideshare and Teachers Pay Teacher and members have created several million slideshows. But none have ended up at the Library of Congress.
Maybe some are at the Internet Archive, but mostly since Anders Dernback started adding his slideshows. Finding the evidence is easy. One searches in their search function and the Library of Congress doesn't have a single slideshow. The slide shows are at least 40,000 years old and have been found on cave walls with wild boar hunting motifs.
Visit the section that uses the language English
Right now we use the English language and Swedish. The collections are divided into departments. We also have a shop where you can buy the slides. Half of all our items are completely free and can be downloaded to an email address at no cost. You may keep the PDF file, but may not resell it or copy it and distribute it. Keep only one copy.
Just Digital
We have had a Pandemic in 1918 and 2020 which is ongoing. In the one from 1918, between 50 - 100 million people died. The covid 19 Pandemic we are seeing right now, it cannot be looked at yet. Historians get to research where many died. One consequence was isolation from other people. See the picture! No picture that was appropriate during a Pandemic. So what do you think about a digital only option?
Partnership
We were completely surprised. Few people are inclined to write to complete strangers. If you want the letter to also praise the recipient, yes it is unusual, but we received such a letter. The company that got in touch had customers aged 75 to 100 years old. The company was aimed at keeping these people company and entertaining their intellects and entertaining them. Apparently slideshows worked amazingly well. So the CEO sent us the letter. The text flowed with superlatives.
Defend free speech
If you have 80,000 images in your slideshows that are several thousand? Is there anything similar out there on the Internet? Where is it then? We don't find anything like it in our collection. Admittedly, we've only had about 700,000 readers for our slideshows and from 195 countries, so that's only a fraction of the world's population. But what do we need to take into account? Just to spread knowledge, joy, information and combinations of these, right? If half of our items are free, there is no need to return them to the library, you simply order the PDF file forever or throw it away. Read it or ignore it. We obviously do not follow this up. Or can influence the choice of others. However, we can add new PDF files. That is what we think is most essential right now. We also believe that it can strengthen freedom and democracy. 70% of the world's population lives under dictatorships. The reason is a total lack of countries' own legislation and in combination with the fact that this favors criminals and psychopaths to climb to power. It would have been easy to protect one's country better. The proportion of dictatorships is welcome to drop. New ones often start by attacking free speech. What you can see in our collection.
Many people miss that slideshows can be made with different designs, books, newspapers, lectures, flyers.
Slide shows can be shown in large groups and at once.
We see it as an advantage to be able to contribute to students being able to read our car games on their own. You certainly see it the same way in Australia. Think about the distances that apply. Many get to use Flying Doctors. but not flying teachers. Instead, the information comes flying in seconds to the students' computers. But what about the supply? We think it can be better. Our experiences point to this, because we have tested the slide games among teachers and students. There are many who liked reading the slide shows. We have the evidence in writing from teachers who wrote to us.
Never stop learning
The mother of curiosity has children in the form of new knowledge. Please have more children and grandchildren. But often a certain laziness is hidden when readers realize that it takes effort, time, will, persistence, to learn more. But knowledge cannot be taken away from you and it is not taxed directly and you can take it with you across the border from Dictatorships which make up 70% of all countries on earth. The question is, shouldn't you?
Our slideshows teach effectively
Academic studies among students show that images and text are more effective than just reading text. The image reinforces the text's message and also repeats the message. It is clearly no coincidence that many storybooks contain many pictures. Film is just a progression of images shown in succession at high speed. Guess if movie is popular?
Saab - RV
Saab is a car brand that has ceased production. But already this Saab motorhome had to be shut down before series production even started. Only two copies were produced. Everything you believe in doesn't come true.
The favorit slideshow this week: "Australia"
Why do some slideshows cost money? First the good news. We aim for half of the objects to be completely free. But there are three years of work behind the creation of several thousand slideshows. Inside the slides there can be approximately 80,000 slide pages. Picture books printed on paper cost money. Time (3 years of work) costs. Therefore, the most extensive slideshows, the ones with unique images, the ones with extra research, the slideshows that cost the most time, they have a price. But an estimate including the slideshows that are free, the slideshows cost an average of 6 US cents per page.

An Ache in Every Stake is a 1941 short subject directed by Del Lord starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard). It is the 57th entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for the studio between 1934 and 1959.
The Three Stooges were an American vaudeville and comedy team active from 1922 until 1970, best remembered for their 190 short subject films by Columbia Pictures. Their hallmark styles were physical farce and slapstick. Six Stooges appeared over the act's run (with only three active at any given time): Moe Howard (true name) Moses Horwitz) and Larry Fine (t/n Louis Feinberg) were mainstays throughout the ensemble's nearly 50-year run and the pivotal "third stooge" was played by (in order of appearance) Shemp Howard (t/n Samuel Horwitz), Curly Howard (t/n Jerome Horwitz), Shemp Howard again, Joe Besser, and "Curly Joe" DeRita.
