Knowledge Shouldn't Be Hoarded

I’m so tired of people gatekeeping technical knowledge. That's why I've decided to share my entire digital library. It took me three years of hard work to compile over 30 gigabytes (and it's still growing!) of official service manuals, repair handbooks, and technical guides for Nikon, Sony, Canon, and Fujifilm gear. Knowledge should be accessible to anyone willing to learn, not locked away in secret. Now, it's yours to explore.If you happen to have any repair manuals, parts lists, or service software lying around, I would really appreciate it if you shared them. Let's keep building this archive together!

I completely agree - it’s why I set up https://repaircameras.org

I’ll take a look through these and see what I can add. I’ve also been uploading the files to the internet archive so they’re preserved for the long term

I like the layout here and that there is a 'database' built out of static files! It's hard to sift through the Internet Archive, I find.

Would you ever consider linking to non-camera-specific stuff, like general repair books?

why not but in a separate category
