Since the 1990s, the bitsavers collective has been scanning computer-related documentation and materials as well as rescuing software from rapidly-fading media. Intended to be a permanent and accessible collection of manuals, technical specifications and lore related to computer brands and materials, the collection now houses thousands of documents containing millions of pages. This collection is an assembling of the PDF section of bitsavers.org's document collection, allowing easier browsing and search capability to the site's ever-growing library. Descriptions and metadata for these are items by Alexander Duryee and Jason Scott.
