This makes me happy because it's basically a dedicated Tumblr or a fandom pinterest page, except with Victorian-level tech. It's steampunk fandom blogging.

I'd love Keith to start his own vlog about being a librarian for the Royal Society.
Graham Rich He used to work as a regular librarian/archivist there in the late 1980s/early 1990s. That would also be interesting, he doesn't have to limit himself to his current position.
3:10 as if Brady didn't read my mind! Please make a full separate video on Newton, would be wonderful to see all the portraits. Each quick page turn was like another stab in my heart...
Brady really only introduces him out of courtesy to new people. Everyone knows Keith here...the strut, the stance, the hair. He needs no introduction, if this was "Filmed in front of a live audience" Keith could just walk out with no acknowledgment, wave, and the crowd goes wild!!!
I believe I speak for the majority of the viewers when I say this.. "We would LOVE longer videos." Personally I could go on for an hour! However you can start out smaller, 15 minutes maybe and then once a month we can have an hour long talk on a an especially interesting item thereby giving it the time it deserves. Now I know it takes a lot of effort to even make videos of this length (and we are immensely grateful for them), but if you are up for it, so are we! :) P.S: We would definitely need Keith present for the hour long videos! He's become quite a celebrity here.
I love this channel and the fact that there is a young very enthusiastic guy presenting it makes it even better cos when I'm at home with the family I get told to shutup cos the soap operas are on, nice one Brady.
I suppose it makes sense that peoples homes were so important back then. It's hard for us to understand now how vitally important geography used to be. Geography now is basically meaningless. You can work with anyone, anywhere, often MORE easily than you can connect with people physically close to you... but it wasn't so long ago that the restriction of who was physically nearby loomed as the single most restrictive factor in whose research got heard, who was able to collaborate, etc. Even things like encyclopedias and the like that we seem to assume are put together by the foremost experts on the subjects they cover were actually restricted to featuring work primarily by whoever was geographically closest and who could be hired for the lowest wage the publishing company was willing to pay...
I wonder if it's brady that writes the descriptions in these videos, where he is refered to in third person. It's a bit of a funny image, imagining him writing the descriptions as some well regarded aristocrat in year 200.
In the recent years many organizations have been making large efforts to digitize large portions of their collections, is The Royal Society doing anything along those lines?
I always wondered why Newton said something about "giant" in his famous quote and why he would choose this word to express modesty for his mathematical/astronomical achievements in the letter he sent to Robert Hooke ?? Is it because of the scale of the universe the C17th scientists tried to measure? Does it have some other implications in its word ?? Is it like the word "titan"?
Zerkbern it's much easier to tore a page when you're handling it with gloves and skin oils just dirty up the pages, not cause chemical decomposition of it (unlike with metals)
Why isn't stuff like this up an the internet for the masses of the world to search for and see. Sure it's nice for Brady to post up what he does. But still, nobody else can have a look for themselves unless they live down the street or have lots of money. It would be great if someone would do up a website for stuff like this. Even if it's just on Wiki.
Nothing strange about that books. Nowadays we call that a Wikipedia article. The only difference is that for a Wikipedia article there are more than one author but the same amount of research which is done about the celebrity.
Cool casual greeting for the audience from Keith at 0:40 :)
+Topi Lajunen Walks in with all his swagger. Little nod to the camera, love it.
I didn't even notice that at first. I think Keith may have been the Fonz in a previous existence.
I'm a fan of Keith, so, uhm, now I need to know... what's his house like?
I'd say we'd been watching his house the past 29 Objectivity videos! :-p
***** That's the Royal Society
These books are probably the world's first tumblr fan blogs.
Keith is the man. Get this man a series on TV!

I know. I know. We will revisit. - Brady
Objectivity Brady, can you please make longer videos.
+Objectivity Just a reminder for you to do this... and when you do the video on Priestley's fan book, please show us the cover in more detail. =-)
We need to make a fanbook for Keith.
I demand embellishment on Keith's introduction! You have become complacent with his glorious presence! Long live the Keith!

"High water marker fandom" oh my goodness, Keith inspires me to become british
Sir Newton's coat of arms are two crossed bones! That's so metal \m/
I remember seeing this limestone crest above the lintel of the main door of Sir Isaac Newton's childhood home, Woolsthorpe Manor.
I look forward to this every week. This episode in particular was incredibly unique. These tomes were clearly labors of love. Very cool.
Please give us more of Keith! He's awesome!
Before comment sections, people had to make comic strips about people they didn't like
culwin Back then It would require at least some modest art skills to bash on someone. Nowadays it's only required to be a jerk. =p
Leopoldo Aranha Yup. It's here where young and old can tell each other off.
an day dont evan half 2 now ho to spel or used gramer
No talent required.
culwin OP is an uncouthed degenerate. This video production is farcical & sexually deviant. ಠ_ರೃ
roidroid Your lure has been exceptionally effective, my good fellow; I do award it eight of eight abstract units of merit.
MichaelKingsfordGray I think you'd do more damage if you threw your giant thesaurus at em.

That face before brady started talking is gold
Are these books digitally scanned an online somewhere? And if not, why not?
Incredible and amazing hello form Keith in the beginning of the video. Loved that.
Please keep The Royal Society videos coming!
What a nice cravate Keith :D
that's a tie though... unless you where speaking french mid-sentence. then it would be correct.
De Potter M. Ahhh you're right. Indeed, in French a cravate is a tie
YOU GO KEITH , yeaaa !
LOVE the shirt Keith
Huh. And here I thought the high watermark of fandom was Juggalos.
So basically that's a hard copy version of Pinterest.
I had absolutely no clue Priestley moved to my area during the revolution :D

Very interesting cool stuff!
these books are my favorite objects.

Poor Brady, he has to wear Mickey Mouse gloves but Keith doesn't.
2:50 could you some day explain heraldry with Newtons coat of arms as an example?
0:58 Can I have a closer look at that circular desk please?

Wow, impressive.
2:00 Is that a picture of the bust, seen in another Objectivity video?
Why are gloves only worn sometimes? Is Levi Strauss your sponsor?
Zerkbern it's much easier to tore a page when you're handling it with gloves
and skin oils just dirty up the pages, not cause chemical decomposition of it (unlike with metals)
+666Tomato666 Indeed, and there's nothing saying the glove is clean, or remains so.
So are we going to get a Star Wars fan book from Bradley then?
I'm a fan of Keith :)
Why does Keith wear his tie so obscenely long?
no offence, what would be the consequence of breaking something at The Royal Society
Great question, I wonder too.
RAHEEL MUKADAM Probably a lawsuit and a large sum of money as compensation, is my guess.

I really like the URL of this video
