This is by no means a comprehensive collection - there's quite a few things that exist that aren't here + a few minor issues with the set (which I'll get into deeper in the replies in this thread), but it's what I've managed to put together after a few years of digging.
Hopefully other forum members would be able to contribute their findings to this "master" list! Enjoy!

Re: The Beatles - Digital Press Kit Collection (1995-2022)
So, let's go over what's missing in terms of CD-ROMs. The two that I know of that are missing are these:
- A Hard Day's Night Miramax International Re-Release CD-ROM
This one's on eBay for $150. I haven't seen this anywhere online (that I know of). It seems legitimate, but there's no way to tell what could be on there aside from a few photos on its packaging sleeve. Maybe someone here has a more detailed description of its contents?
- The Beatles: Love - Cirque du Soleil - At The Mirage CD-ROM
Also, for $150 on eBay, is an assortment of documents, media, and merchandise related to the LOVE Las Vegas Cirque show. Intererestingly, a unique CD (not the soundbites one everyone's familiar with) is here. It's likely got an assortment of photos, perhaps a mix of archival and performance shots?
There's also the matter of the Interview / Soundbites CDs, but those are purely audio material and I'll get around to uploading the ones I have and going further into them in a separate post.
Onto the Internet ones!

In terms of internet-distributed press kits, it's likely that they exist for every major Beatles release post 2007, which includes the following:
The Beatles (The Original Studio Recordings) & The Beatles In Mono Box Set (2009)
Packshots as well as archival images exist online in articles covering its release. Check out the soundonsound article about its remastering for a few of those in high-res: https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques ... ng-beatles
The Beatles - 1+ (2015)
This one's a little interesting. Not sure exactly what might be on here, likely a few more archival photos (like the one below which debuted with this release), packshots, as well as "rave review" social media images (as was seen again with Let It Be and Abbey Road SDE's)?
The Beatles - 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition Releases
We've got Let It Be and Revolver, but we're missing Sgt. Pepper (2017), The White Album (2018), and Abbey Road (2019). What's expected: packshots, tape boxes, archival photographs. Here's a couple of examples as to what might have been included based on press material from around the time of their release.
Thanks for reading! Let me know if you've got any of these and I can add them to the archive!

Updated to include the press material (photo / video) of the 2023 Red & Blue albums rerelease and the 2006 LOVE CD-ROM. The CD includes a web-portal feature where you can view the contents in an organized manner.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
