I recommend
http://villageearth.org/appropriate-...nology-library

It fits on 2 DVDs or 28 CDs. Microfilm or photoreduction might also be useful
This looks like an excellent resource.

When I learned TMP back in the Stone Age, microfilm was the most economical way of storing data. Computers were still big, clunky things. TEOTWAWKI was scheduled for 1989!!! Well before a lot of the advances in computers and miniturization of components came about.

One of the things some of the teams I played in requested microfilm readers with LOTS of books on agriculture, medicine, animal husbandry, metalurgy, wood working, engineering, etc.
