Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Google Books allows viewing the scans in colour, but when I click the option to download the PDF, I am provided only with a black-and-white version.

Is it known how to obtain the original colour images, outside of inspectelementing each page one by one?

Well, I may be technologically semi-literate and I may have felt a bit dizzy when I saw actual code in your comment, but I sure as hell will find a way to put it to use, no matter the cost.

You're terrific, man. No idea what else to say.

lmk if you run into an issue

This kind of stuff is like an IRL puzzle game. I thought it would be a simple five minute adventure, but of course google has made sure it isn't! I suppose for 3 stars I would have given it to you in a pdf format, but I fear the man who could do that in javascript.
