It is also interesting to see how people spend significant time and effort to download digital facsimiles from academic repositories, edit every image, and upload them to the Internet Archive.

See, for example, scans of البلاغ الاسبوعي published in Cairo from 1926 onwards ( https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q60578577 ). Scans of the copies held by the University of Tübingen are hosted by the University of Bonn: https://digitale-sammlungen.ulb.uni-bonn.de/ulbbnioa/periodical/pageview/7282062. Based on the position of tears and specks, I am pretty sure that these images are the source of https://archive.org/details/Elbalah-week/مجلة%20البلاغ%20الأسبوعي%20-%20العدد%20001/
