Introducing: the Dememorixer

This week I reverse engineered how to get the full resolution image from image banks that use the Memorix Maior image viewer and build a script to automate doing so.
Over 30 Dutch online archives use this image viewer.

A lot of the images in these databases are in the public domain, and so can be uploaded to the media database of the Wikimedia projects: Wikimedia Commons. Now that we have this code, I and a few other Wikimedians have been busy updating old uploads to get the maximum resolution. If you’d like to help: see images of which I suspect that they can be improved.
