Not sure if it's out there anywhere else but I've uploaded the 1950 National Carnival program to Internet Archive. Apologies for the slightly crappy scan, but the source document is so flimsy I was terrified on every page turn.

Nice work.
Never uploaded to Internet Archive - easy to do etc ?
Did you just scan each page as a pdf or jpg then piece them together into one file?

Internet Archive is super easy.

In this case my scanner just took all the scans and put them together in a PDF but if you do them separately there's websites where they can be stuck together.

If I ever get spare time I'll update this scan to centre pages/crop white space.

I just finished digitising and uploading my collection of old football songs - I've created a website for them at aflsongs.com. Please feel free to take a look, there's some really interesting stuff!

This is amazing! And worthy of its own thread! Feel free to create one promoting this wonderful site.

To quote Richard Marx, there's a thread Right Here Waiting for you Gibbsy.

Not sure if this really counts but a Wikipedia user called Totallynotarandomalt69's been hard at work adding tons of footy info to the site, extending beyond AFL and into local leagues too.

I have some qualms about it, like the necessity of some pages (Campbells Creek vs Primrose has one now), but overall I like his hustle. Lots of sourcing too.

Agreed, between him and “mrchikkin” adding guernsey design graphics to every single local league page over the last year or so, WP has become an extremely good starting point for country footy

With sourcing and research, I am in the process of migrating a lot of that data (particularly clubs/years/leagues) over to AF.

A introduced Yin Ke to lend money to B (B is the deceased's husband), and then B asked Yin Ke to pay it back slowly, but Yin Ke refused and threatened to kill him. In the end, the couple died.

WTF!?

Did you mean to put this in this or another thread?

Something's not right there.

I'm sure it has a meaning at some level
