BrickShelf.com -Kevin Loch
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past two years, or only recently
discovered other LEGO® enthusiasts on the Internet, chances are that you already know and love the scan collection at BrickShelf.com (formerly known as kl.net).
Over recent years, Kevin has been amassing and organizing unofficial JPEG scans of official LEGO® building instruction booklets and catalogs. To date, dozens of contributors have scanned more than 1,000 official LEGO® building instruction booklets and more than 150 official LEGO® catalogs. All of these
scans are organized in an easy-to-follow top-down hierarchy, making it convenient to find, for example, building instructions to a long-lost beloved set from childhood.
Just recently, Kevin added a public-uploadable Gallery where anyone can share
photos (and the like) of their own creations. Each person gets their own
folder which they can organize however they see fit, including the optional creation of sub-folders and sub-sub-folders (and so forth) for organizational
purposes. Thumbnails (clickable shrunken-down versions) are automatically generated for each uploaded image, making browsing a snap.
By the way, BrickShelf.com has a special announcement group on LUGNET called lugnet.announce.brickshelf. This is a good group to check periodically (or subscribe to for news-by-mail delivery) for announcements of recent additions and changes.
