Internet Archive is  wonderful. and  I  recommend   if  you have a lot of 
scanned items of history  note  you may consider contributing to it.   Anyone 
in the   scanned manual  business when they decided to retire might  
consider  making it  their massive file collections  final  home. actually  
multiple locations   makes even more sense.  ( the more the  places the  greater 
the long term chance  for survival) 

Unlike  some of the other   archives  like American  Radio History etc...  
the Internet Archive resolution in some of the  saved  formats is much much 
higher  and  uncompressed,   if  you dig though the sidebar of all the you 
can even pull    individual large pages as separate files  as one of the 
readable formats  etc.   they are  saved in many  formats and many sizes.  Being 
able to pull a large page  to make  some display art out of in a  display  
is  wonderful.. 

Almost us  lovers of  black and green boxes  having a radio  on the shelf 
is  fine  but  when you are trying to bring it into  the grasp of   the non 
radio or radar   onlooker... having  graphics,  photos  etc etc... really 
makes a display of the object  more,

For instance the cover of  WWII   ELECTRONICS Magazine  had this wonderful 
picture of
a radio op.  with a great Screw You Adolph    expression  with his  RX

I have the actual magazine  so will scan it here later   but....  you  get 
the  idea
Don't  get me  wrong,  all the other  files  stashes  are  wonderful  too 
as there is   information...but  in our  case  where we need   the  best, 
clearest, brightest, most uncompressed,  I always   check  Internet Archive to 
see if it is there  even if  I have  found it  elsewhere  first.

For web  sites that disappear for one reason or another, you can also try
the  Internet Archive. I've found info from web sites that don't  exist
anymore.
