I don't know if scans already exist, but I would say they should indeed be scanned.

This is the "wall of orange" for VAX/VMS 4.4. They are in great shape. Looking at Bitsavers, Archive.org and other sites, I haven't been able to find much for this version of VMS. Therefore, I'm inclined to find a way to scan these and get them into the cloud. Before I go down that path, I would pose a couple of questions to my esteemed colleagues here: First, is it possible these are already scanned, and I'm just not looking in the right place(s)? If I did scan them, is there anything in particular I should be considering with respect to file size/quality, formatting, etc.? Finally, would there be interest? I do believe everything should be preserved - that said, if it's not possible run this version any longer, and if no one will ever need the materials, is the effort fruitful. Would love your thoughts. Thanks! - Earl
