Media Preservation is one of my biggest hobbies. My main targets are music, books, magazines and web based content. I started scanning media at the tail end of 2023.
I can't host all my book scans here, as they take up a lot of space. However, you can read them all freely on the Internet Archive, linked below.
INTERNET ARCHIVE
In addition, I will host various texts and occasionally others' writing on here that I can't host on the Internet Archive for various reasons.
Scanning a book can take a lot of time, usually a couple hours for an average sized book. Large books can take several days to scan. If my scans have provided helpful for you, please consider leaving me a tip on my Ko-Fi!
I scan using a HP Scanjet G3110 and edit PDFs using ilovepdf.com. I'm looking to upgrade to an A3 scanner by 2025.
I'm in the process of mirroring my scans to Anna's Archive following the lost appeal regarding Archive's digital book lending. I can't gurantee my books will be on there forever. My ultimate advice is, and this goes with all media, if you like it, take a copy of it. When it's yours, it's yours.
So far, I have made £623.13 worth of books free to read!Not that money matters in this context, but to quote a wise man: "Numbers are fun times."
