I once put a ton of effort into tracking down episodes and information of a random Spanish Telanovella I caught on the Spanish channel once. Including recording and digitizing episodes.

I don't even speak Spanish at all at the time, the show just seemed interesting.

I've lso converted a bunch of old Zines from a UK school to PDF because a musician I like was involved and the only copies were behind some weird paywall magazine site. Bunch of print screens and a script to crop double pages to single pages then merge them together.

Maybe I should try putting them somewhere like archive.org.

Please do. The more copies that are spread, the less likely a given work will truly vanish from humanity's history.
