The camera feature in the @Gemini_Notebook mobile app is so transformative for on-the-go research. I was up in the Sierras working on a new project, and I just took photos of everything, like this museum display. Then I asked for a detailed report of all the info in the image. The text below is what I got back. (I fact-checked it myself and it was 99% accurate -- and some of the text it transcribed is so blurry in the image that it was hard for me to read it.) Next step is to generate documents like this for all the photos I took, and then ask Notebook to highlight all the information that adds something new to the existing knowledge base of sources I've already collected, or is particularly relevant to my latest writing and outline for the project.

The Fire of 1866: Mariposa's Second Great Conflagration Below is the complete transcript of the Mariposa Gazette report featured on the panel regarding the disaster of August 25, 1866 (following the earlier destructive fire of 1858): Article Text: "FIRE! MARIPOSA'S SECOND GREAT FIRE" A few minutes after 6 p.m. on Saturday, August 25, 1866 Mariposa was again ruined by a disastrous fire (first in 1858). According to the Gazette (the building was damaged but not destroyed), the fire was believed to have started when "a recently imported printer stepped inside the Free Press office and lighted a cigar. The match had evidently been dropped carelessly amongst the papers on the floor. The Free Press office was located near the corner of Main and 7th Streets and by ten minutes the fire had spread through two blocks. The fire crossed Main Street to the Odd Fellows building and the Methodist Church and soon the buildings on the block between 6th and 7th Streets were burning like so much chaff." Seven full blocks, except for four fire-proof buildings, were totally destroyed. "In one hour about 60 buildings and 77,000 worth of property were destroyed." By early Monday morning the men were clearing away debris and by press time the following Saturday, the Gazette reported that several temporary business structures had already been erected and were open for business.
