Replying to Preserving the history of skiing

I was going through my DVD collection today and it kind of bummed me out that the newer generation will probably never watch a plehouse, rage, h30, tsp, or even stept film. I'm not sure if pbp films are still available online or not, I don't think it is possible to buy older field production movies, and ski the east doesn't even sell born from ice anymore.
There are probably a bunch of others that I am missing (esp. edits that were wiped from NS) and it's a shame that the generations to come will be unable to enjoy them.
I don't know how to go about this but if anyone knows the owners of copyrighted works that are no longer available, please just talk to them and see where they are at or let me know who to contact and I'll get in touch. It would be nice if they could either sell the rights, post them up, give permission to post them, or set them up on Vimeo on demand for a bit of cash flow. It just seems like such a waste to have all of the time, effort, iconic shots, and memories disappear.
