J. C. Kaelin is the pioneer of historical multimedia on the
internet. Recovering from crippling case of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
that disabled him for a decade, Jim Kaelin began to make historical
sound files for his own amusement, to share with others on the net and
to give what little he could back to society in 1995, when he discovered
that there were so few online. He became thereby the most archived
sound digitizer on the internet, beginning when he created NASA's online
Apollo 11 sound site, a collection which was quickly "mirrored" by over
100 websites worldwide within weeks of its release. Encouraged by
this, in March 1996 he created the EarthStation1! website as a means by
which to resume his duties as a contributing member of society. It
immediately became the first and foremost historical sound & image
archive on the internet, featuring his original audio, video and image
digitations. Based on the website's success, he took the courage of his
convictions, volunteered off of disability and made the operation of
EarthStation1 his chosen profession.
February 6, 1961: #BOTD: J. C. Kaelin, digital producer, editor,
archivist and publisher, founder of the world's first dedicated world
wide web (WWW) historical digital audio, video and image website on
March 26, 1996, EarthStation1.com, founder of MediaOutlet.com on that
same date, as well as a number of other web enterprises, who
collaborated in a number of documentary productions such as the landmark
World War II documentary series THE WAR THE WAR by Ken Burns and Lynn
Novick, HISTORY DETECTIVES, The History Channel's WORLD WAR II IN HD,
UNSEALED ALIEN FILES, UNSEALED CONSPIRACY FILES and the 2015 NHK TV
documentary THE STORY OF "TOKYO ROSE", featured on broadcast television
and cable documentary networks such as PBS, The History Channel, The
BBC, CNN, The Discovery Channel, Fox, The Learning Channel, A & E,
NHK, Asahi TV, Altice (formerly Suburban Cablevision) and more, as well
as in movies, radio, books, newspapers and magazines, exhibited and
archived in museums and libraries around the world such as The British
Library and The British Museum, part of the New York Regents
Examinations for many years, archived at colleges, universities and
graduate schools worldwide such as Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Brown, UCLA,
University Of Maryland, Oxford, Cambridge, The Institute Of World
Politics and more, approved for teaching history and media studies by
various American state, British, French and Singapore governments, as
well as hundreds of prestigious schools K-12, college, university and
post-graduate worldwide since 1996, cited by the Israeli Knesset and by
the Yad Vashem Holocaust Remembrance Center as an approved academic
resource for information about the Holocaust, is #born James Charles Kaelin, Jr. in Jamaica, Queens, New York City at the dawn of The Space Age, during the honeymoon period of the Kennedy administration.
In June of 2001, J. C. Kaelin found that his website's contents were
appearing on CD-ROMs for sale on eBay and elsewhere without either his
knowledge or permission. He decided he could do a better job of it, so
in July 2001 he began producing and publishing his own digitations made
from his awesome audio/visual library through his EarthStation1.com
Multimedia website. It became an even more successful enterprise than
the original website, and helped secure J. C. Kaelin's reputation as a
businessman, digital editor and media archivist.
In September 2008, that successful concern evolved into MediaOutlet.com,
a comprehensive media production and publishing company still owned and
operated by J. C. Kaelin.
Especially created to meet the needs of students and teachers worldwide,
MediaOutlet.com and its constituent websites have gained approval for
teaching history and media studies by various American state, British,
French and Singapore governments, as well as by museums, libraries,
archives & hundreds of prestigious schools K-12, college, university
& post-graduate worldwide since 1996. Much of its constituent
material had never been made available to the public before they were
created for and published by J. C. Kaelin. Literally hundreds of
subjects are covered by the MediaOutlet.com catalog, including General
History, World War I, World War II, TV/Movie/Radio Broadcasting History,
Documentaries, Movies, Music, Teleplays, Modern and Ancient Drama,
Black/Ethnic/Civil Rights, Government, Business, Space Flight, The Cold
War and much more. In many institutions of learning throughout the US -
and indeed in some countries the entire nation's educational curriculum
- center around materials produced by J. C. Kaelin for EarthStation1
and its heir MediaOutlet.com.
Of these, many believe it's the World War II materials that are the
"crown jewels" of J. C.'s digitations, many of which adorn such
documentary classics as the landmark epic TV documentary series THE WAR
directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick and distributed by Florentine
Films, the PBS documentary series HISTORY DETECTIVES, the History
Channel's WWII IN HD and more besides. With thousands of sound, still
and moving image documents from both sides of that great conflict, it's
become by merit of the love & effort that went into it one of the
foremost Second World War media publishing sites on the internet.
The historical multimedia productions produced by J. C. Kaelin have been
created, remastered and enhanced to provide the highest quality
digitations possible. Great care has been taken to obtain the highest
quality original media possible from museums, archives, libraries and
private collections worldwide. Many hours have been spent on some single
files, while others have taken weeks or even months to create. The
especial results of these efforts have been the development of a number
of digitizing processes - audio, video and imaging - which produce media
of superior resolution than those made using traditional methods.
"I thank you for your interest in me and in MediaOutlet.com. It's a
pleasure and a privilege both to help "keep the faith" by creating and
maintaining a true historical account of the sound and image history of
man. Thank you for your support in that great work!
