Into 2011, Perl authority and esteemed hacker Randal Schwartz announced he was donating excess T-shirts to charity. Jason Scott asked if he could acquire these shirts and digitize or archive these shirts before this happened. This collection consists of logos, slogans and images from an initial batch of 75 shirts, digitized by camera on a top-down tabletop. They are intended to be used as reference, historical verification, and any other relevant purpose, much as if they were printed in a book as opposed to fabric.



Plans for the future include digitizing the remaining hundreds of shirts.
