So I've been collecting media guides over the years and scraped them from the team sites as well as the InternetArchive. I have 1685 media guides.
I have a few projects I'd like to do if I am able to find more of the 1960 to Present media guides. I'm happy to share my collection, I can host them on Google Drive (~50GB currently), but also was wondering if anyone else may have some of the missing guides??
These are all digital by the way, not the actual physical copy. I own about 500 physical copies of various guides, but for this project I am primarily looking for digital copies in which I hope to convert from scanned image PDFs (aka raster image PDFs) into Text based PDFs which could be read by an LLM and other text extraction tools.

Re: Historical Collection of Media Guides
Bump.
Let me know if you have any of these media guides, would love to try to complete the collection. Happy to share them as well. Just let me know how we want to host them.
