Apparently there was an effort made to preserve their inventory.

Found an interesting article about this:



The article was written in 2015, dunno what has happened since then.

I so remember?that event. I could not attend but did help out.
That said never heard anything more about what happened.
Manualsplus some weeks ahead did offer up manuals sort of discounted but the shipping was the catch. I grabbed some great manuals I had needed. Then the closure occurred.
Sad but thats the way all of the?manual houses?went.
Artek still has manuals as pdfs and thats helped me out often.
Good luck.

I think the remainder of their inventory was donated to the Internet Archive.



Eventually with time everything will be scanned.

Hi good to se them preserved but unlike historical documents? we need them now as the equipment in 10 to 15 years time will not exist unless manuals can be found

The loss of ManualsPlus and the other physical archives, was a disaster. Few realize the magnitude.
Some links and photos here:


As for 'scanned eventually' - ha. No, it's lost. Most scans are atrocious quality, and part of that is due to the intrinsic crappiness of PDF.? Eventually every single 'scan' currently online, will have to be redone, once we have an acceptable file format and tools. But by then, most of the paper originals will be gone.
