I'd like to ask, for all of those 200 or 2000 years those documents have survived, how many more papers and books do you think we've lost to time? How many of them do we not eve realize we lost? Those documents are the exception, not the norm and if there's just going to be a magical fix that some how everything the players need is magically preserved in good condition in someone's basement, that kind of takes the fun out of things. Its fun to have to adapt and not have everything given to you on a platter in advance.

I know, and I did mention that. They're like fossils. Maybe there are less than 10 sites like this on the entire map. But it's something the GM might have considered, and I won't count it out, unless the GM confirms it's not something that can happen. I don't expect to find any such documents myself, except by some freak accident. There is no motive here except sheer speculation on what could possibly happen

*They might not even exist, the GM hasn't said anything about them. If they don't I'm cool with that. 

*Not to mention that maybe there's only one such site on the map, and the only books that were preserved in it were trashy romance novels. The documents don't even need to be relevant to some project the player is working on, they would be completely random. To find such a document that helps you in a quest would be astronomically improbable. I don't know
