Hi Emijrp,
Looks like a great find!
It seems to me that transcribing these volumes onto Wikisource would be a great step toward getting them used as sources for Wikipedia articles. In case you (or somebody else on the list) are not familiar with Wikisource, it's basically a place where you can:
- start with scanned books (like those you linked below)
- transcribe them (using a combination of Optical Character Recognition
and manual transcription)
- match up the transcribed pages with the scanned images (for an example,
see: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page%3AEnglish_Caricaturists_and_Graphic_Humou...)
The advantages are many, but here are a few:
- Once a book is transcribed, it's easy to use a tool like
translate.google.com to get a rough translation into another language
- It's possible to use wikilinks to Wikipedia articles, Wiktionary
definitioins, etc. to add context
- It's possible to make small readability/usability improvements on the
original, like neatly aligned bullet lists, linkable footnotes, etc.
So, it might be interesting to start transcribing one of these volumes to Wikisource as a first step toward using them in Wikipedia. There are some very sophisticated tools that automate a lot of the process; I'm not a great expert myself, but if you'd like, I could see if there's a Spanish speaker who could guide you through the process of uploading these to Spanish Wikisource.
