◉ Support the archive

Keep the signal live.

Every file here is public domain and stays free — no paywall, no login, no tracking, forever. What costs money is the work around the documents: OCR on tens of thousands of scanned pages, full-text search, the map, and the bandwidth to serve it to anyone who asks. If the archive is useful to you, keep it independent.
