future you have a place to go and access them if need be.

So if anyone is a member of repair discussion sites that are pay sites
(not free) if they could post this message there as well as:

First make sure they will actually keep them any longer than you
would, as my local library has a very bad reputation with me for
discarding books which do not have a high useage. They have to be
"realistic" or they have tons of space taken up. The state library
had a sale of books and I got a bonanza (from my point of view).

Locally the Central Library keeps extensive files of repair manuals.

I like to see a Gutenberg project where such priceless documentation
is scanned and archived electronically. How much space does one DVD
occupy?

Perhaps Google would like to archive them for the Google Library project?
