I do that too but my archives are at home. I can bring a usb stick tomorrow.
By holding the Option key at boot, I found an El Capitan recovery
volume. If I click "Reinstall macOS", it logs me into the App Store
but then says "This item is temporarily unavailable. Try again
later." I speculate that the El Capitan installer is in a different
place from where it was when first released.
I have archives of all manner of software on a big RAID volume. I
make a special effort to archive proprietary software because vendors
often delete old versions after they ship new versions.
