Brickshelf L.L.C is pleased to announce that its LEGO(r)
instruction and catalog archive is now available online at
http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/ . This archive contains
scans submitted by hundreds of LEGO fans that are organized, indexed
and presented by Brickshelf. Its availability is made possible
with special permission and generous support from the LEGO Company.
FTP access and ZIP file downloads have been disabled for now to
encourage the online use of the archive and to help control
bandwidth usage. DO NOT download the entire archvie (slurping),
as it is unnecessary and unfair to the other users.
The entire archive has been preserved (no material was deleted),
and we expect to add more as new submissions come in. We will
continue our existing policy of not posting instructions for sets
in the current regular retail assortment.
New scans may be submitted via email to webmaster@brickshelf.com
(other options will be possible in the future). All submissions
become property of Brickshelf L.L.C.
The original catalogs and building instructions are copyrighted
materials of the LEGO Group. Brickshelf is neither owned nor operated
by the LEGO Group.
Kevin Loch
Manager,
Brickshelf L.L.C.

| Hello Kevin, hello everybody, I certainly appreciate the enormous amount of work that you and others put into brickshelf over the years, and the value this has created for the LEGO community.

| (...) Ouch! The zipfiles were THE manner in which I would view instruction manuals. If the zipfiles were too much hassle bandwidth-wise, how about making cd-roms of the library available for sale to fund the library? If I could get the extant (...) (23 years ago, 14-Mar-02, to lugnet.publish)

| Thank you Brickshelf & LEGO, This has been on my mind nearly daily, wondering if the scans would return and in what form. With the re-release of sets from TLC in the LEGENDS theme I was sure that LEGO would have to sanction set instructions. Thanks (...) (23 years ago, 14-Mar-02, to lugnet.publish)

| | | Re: Scans are back!
|
| I have a quick question for ya. I have a few catalogs which are not shown (Shop at home, product catalogs, etc). Is there interest to have these too? Alternate covers? Etc etc? I could bring them back from home to scan if there is. Also, how about (...) (23 years ago, 14-Mar-02, to lugnet.publish)
| | | Re: Scans are back!
|
| (...) Obviously, it's great to have the scans back and good to hear that Lego is giving permission and "generous support". But, what is not so clear to me is just how generous Lego's support is? Is it sufficient to cover all of brickshelf's volume (...) (23 years ago, 15-Mar-02, to lugnet.publish)
