Stan's Legacy is a free preservation archive of Stanley A. Meyer's work, and this is how deep it goes. 10,455 documents, indexed and cross-referenced, including 9,211 patents from 28 patent offices: the prior art his filings were examined against. His own: 72 patents covering 22 inventions, and 16 technical memos, 177 pages, scanned and transcribed. 351 of his reference numerals, each gathering every drawing and passage that uses it, plus his dealership manuals. 721 photographs from the estate packet, filed by the part they show, and 85 pieces of footage, the lectures transcribed with timestamps so every quote can be checked. A map of 39 places in 8 countries, a 232-term glossary, a calculator for his VIC matrix, and about 82,000 posts from the old forums, preserved, one of them the only surviving copy. Plus 43 documentary episodes, these shorts, and a game. As Stan put it in Denver in 1997: "In order to bring technology in, it must be communicated." stanslegacy.com

About the voices. The narrator is NeuralStan, an AI voice the archive uses for its made films. Where you hear Stan Meyer, it is Stan: every word of his is cut from an original recording, and nothing he says was synthesised.
