How We Get Manuals

Find My Manual is an independent documentation archive intended to make manuals easier to find and preserve access to useful product information.

Collecting documentation

We collect documentation from publicly available manufacturer resources, other publicly available sources, and original physical manuals. The source of a document can vary; not every document in the archive was scanned by Find My Manual.

Physical manuals may be acquired secondhand. When practical, we scan and organize them and convert them into searchable, downloadable PDFs. Documents digitized by Find My Manual are identified where applicable.

Organizing the archive

Documents are cataloged by manufacturer, product, model number, document type, language, and region where these details are known. This helps readers find documentation relevant to the product they own.

The archive is continuously curated. If you notice a correction or a missing document, you can report it at support.findmymanual@gmail.com. Searches with no matching results also offer a manual request form.

Independence and copyright

Find My Manual is not affiliated with or endorsed by manufacturers whose documentation it hosts. Copyright in original documents remains with the respective rights holders; digitization does not imply ownership.
