Very cool! I have a set of MTS-related manuals from
1979, would they be
of any interest to you for archival purposes, assuming you don't already
have copies?
(They are: "Digital Computing, FORTRAN IV, WATFIV, and MTS (with *FTN
and *WATFIV)" Parts 1 & 2 by Brice Carnahan and James O. Wilkes.)

Al might like a copy to scan for the PDF archive at Bitsavers, but he can speak for
himself.
Scanned versions of the Caranahan and Wilkes book and a number of others related to
the Michigan Terminal System (MTS) are already available online in the Hathi Trust Digital
Library:

A more limited set of PDF documents that doesn't include the Caranahan and Wilkes book
is available from U-M's Deep Blue digital archive and the PDF Archive at Bitsavers:
http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/handle/2027.42/79570
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/univOfMichigan/
The MTS PDFs in Deep Blue and at Bitsavers tend to be of a higher quality since they
aren't scans of physical books.
