I have a few old manuals that might be helpful to someone, that don't appear to have been shared anywhere that's indexed by search engines. Is there a favoured place where I can share them or someone who scans/archives/shares manuals that I can send them to?
For example:
I'd guess Vogonsdrivers and archive.org are good places.
I've shared my manual scans there.
also bitsavers.org and retroarchive.org would be good for extra insurance, not sure if minuszerodegrees.net wants extra stuff to host or not.

It's not something I have done, but I have two scanners and plenty of free time, and would be happy to scan any manuals etc that you have, if you are happy to post to the UK. I see there are a few places to upload them to. I missed out on a full manual for the PVI-486SP3 that was recently on ebay, due to insufficient fund until a few days after it sold. That would have been my first upload.
PM me if you need my help, and I'll give you my address.

I'll weigh them and check the price of shipping, but if it isn't too obscene I'll gladly send them over. I don't want them to sit on a shelf when they could be benefiting someone.
Uh19 (see my signature) would be a great place too 😀

I will say that bitsavers.org tends to prefer to scan things themselves, so they'd be more interested in having the documentation sent to them (if they are interested in it).
But occasionally they will host other people's scans. Mostly depends on whether they can obtain the physical documentation or whether the other person's scans are up to their standards.
