It is 50GB all in all, 37GB of video and 13GB of audio.
I am afraid of uploading it elsewhere, maybe Stanford goes for sueing me, if I do?

I think obvious hosters are archive.org and vimeo.

They probably used something like a Macintosh Qudra 600av to digitize. They do remind me a bit like QuickTime 1993. I’m sure they had them in some ‘online multimedia repository’ thing.

In a fair bunch of them you can’t even make out what he writes on the blackboard or transparent because of the low resolution. It’s as if these were digitized in the 90s using the worst possible resolution (320×240?) and codec, and not much thought was put into their presentation today.
