We should upload leaflets for past elections to archive.org so that they're independently archived.
This is definitely an appropriate use for archive.org and we don't need to ask their permission to do this - anyone can upload. Once we've uploaded a sufficient amount, we can request that a collection is created.
I'm not quite sure what the best way is of going about this. The basic unit on archive.org is the "item", which can contain multiple files. I don't think it's worth uploading each leaflet as an individual item, perhaps it's best to have one item per party per election. We'll also need to work out how to save the metadata.
Probably best to resolve #204 before doing this so we're not uploading any personal data.

There is a python library and CLI tool which we could use to automate this.
