How to download Debian releases before 3.0?

[John Rogers <microsparc64@gmail.com>]

Hello.

I was doing some software archeology and found that I would like to
install a couple of older Debian releases in virtual machines for
comparison. Releases from 3.0 and above was very easy to find [1], but
I can't find anything from before that.

I have seen that it should be possible to use Jigdo, but I think that
requires a .jigdo file unless I'm mistaken.

Is the install media still available online, and if not how should I
recreate it?
