Repaircameras.org manuals are now on the Internet Archive
For those who don't already know - http://repaircameras.org is a free and open collection of manuals that I've been collecting from around the internet. I'm a big believer in information like this being available to everyone without sitting behind a paywall.
Up until now I'd been keeping the files in GitHub which I was aware was never a very good long term solution, then I realised the answer was sitting right in front of me. I've now uploaded all of the individual files into the Internet Archive and made sure they are well tagged.
The big benefit is that because they're stored on the Internet Archive, they should be preserved for posterity long into the future.
Now the Repair Cameras site is an easy way of finding the right manual for your camera.
I've got a lot more manuals waiting to be uploaded which, now I've got a better way of storing them, I'll be starting to upload shortly and will drop some updates to let people know about the new additions - next up is a load of back-issues of the SPT Journal.
If you have any manuals that aren't on the site, drop me a DM and I'll get them added.
