Easy: get a bunch of DVD drives and a ~1 Gbps uplink.

Can you detail how one easily gets a 1 gigabit uplink installed temporarily in the National Archives?

I've had telcos drop fiber into the middle of fields in the middle of nowhere, so it's probably possible. But it feels like there's a lot of complicated bureaucracy to navigate, and the researcher OP is time-restricted.

Sneaker shuttle the SSDs from the National Archives to your friends apartment with the uplink.

sigh

No one got the joke. I’m suggesting that the DVD’s should be submitted as an AWS public dataset, because Amazon is the company that digitized them in the first place, and the content is apparently public domain.
