What's the best place to upload scans of vintage magazines?

I'm about to get into deconstructing, scanning, and archiving many vintage Japanese anime magazines. I got a guillotine paper cutter and a Fujitsu scanner on the way and the entire 1999 run of Animage Magazine to kick off my archiving.

I was curious what the best/safest place to upload my scans would be? The only archive I personally know of is Internet Archive, with a few other spots being too specialized to accept the magazines I'm scanning. I'm just worried that I may take the time and effort to preserve these magazines, just to have the copyright holders force whatever website I uploaded them to to remove them years later. What's the safest spot to upload magazine scans? Should I be uploading them multiple places?

I will obviously keep the original scans safe on my computer and uploaded to a cloud service (unless they're much larger files than I anticipate they'll be), but the whole reason I want to do this is so people anywhere can view the contents of these magazines online.

Thanks for any advice on the topic.
