The purpose of the International Sewing Machine Collectors' Society is to foster the collecting of, and research into, sewing machines.

Singer Industrial Manuals

These manuals are scans taken from original Singer manuals that have been converted to Adobe PDF format for viewing/printing.  Some of the original manuals are nearly 100 pages and the resulting files can be rather large, even when compressed into PDFs.

If you will right-click the links below and choose "save as" you can store these files on your own system.  This is usually better than trying to view them within your browser.
