What about them? Are they from these archives? If so, are they permitted under GDFL or PD?

Well it did occure to me that the archives would be a way of getting PD maps.
If you scan them, & contribute them to Wikipedia-EN (although I'd encourage you to submit them to commons), then they are published, right?
And even if you scan & upload the images to commons or Wikisource the original documents, you make them available to anyone who wants to verify your research.
(This does raise the question about how do we determine forgeries, but we have the same problem with the physical originals.)
