George Liquor, AmericanI still failed to find a permanent home for these old manuals. Fedi has grown a bit in the interim. Any takers?

Kaleissin@liquor_american Internet Archive? They've rescued magazines IIRC
@kaleissin This is small potatoes for them.
I could conceivably scan and upload myself, but my scanner is garbage and this is a couple hundred pages, soooo.
Just really want them preserved on some level.
Kevin Riggle@liquor_american @kaleissin If you have a bit of money for this you might send them to a nondestructive scanning place and pay for them to be scanned. I've used Golden Images LLC in the past (https://www.pdfdocument.com/) and been fairly pleased with the results.
@liquor_american @kaleissin If you only need PDFs and not any OCR or proofreading you could plausibly get this done for in the ballpark of $50-60 per 100 pages
@kevinr @kaleissin My interest in this material specifically is nil. I'm trying to get it into an archive, physical or otherwise, where people who wouod appreciate it can do so. I'm willing to mail it, but I can't pay anyone for digitization services. Thanks tho !
Ulrich Hoffmann🖖@liquor_american you might want to ask @bitsavers as they preserve especially classic computer manuals.
bitsavers.orgI already have them
http://bitsavers.org/pdf/cdc/1700/cyber_18
Probably not an obvious place though, since most people have never heard of the Cyber 18, which was part of a 16-bit minicomputer line co-developed with NCR
Hunter@liquor_american sounds like something @textfiles would be interested in
wyatt@liquor_american no idea what this is and it's a bit out of my wheelhouse but i know someone with minicomputers, maybe i should ask?
