How Can I Access Walter Lewin's Course Materials from Past Years on MIT OCW?

In summary, the conversation discusses the removal of course materials of a professor due to inappropriate conduct. However, the lectures are still available on YouTube, but the pdfs are not. The conversation also mentions a way to access the pdfs through the Wayback machine.

Hey guys, following the brouhaha around mr.lewin's inappropriate conduct, mit ocw has removed all of lewin's course materials from its page. But the lectures are still available on YouTube, thankfully :bow:
But the pdfs aren't! Please let me know if any of you have them downloaded from back then. I'm still following his lectures and i need a couple of classroom slides and such! Thankyou!:smile:

Just click on a past year on the wayback page for the course you want and go to a year when the course materials were still available like 2012.. Click on that in the year listing on the top..( There are a lot of bars on 2012 btw.. Visited most then i guess.)
Then that year calendar opens up and you see a lot of blue bubbles on dates. Click one of those. Then a time list pops up.. Click any time.. And then the course page of the past opens up. Hope this helps.
