I wish someone would support Project Runeberg or Project Gutenberg so
they could scan them and make them _free_...

In Norway a university has a large collection of

with a solution the collection is going to be destructed (actually burned)
I think the best thing to do is to scan them and make them publicly
available. Of course neither I or WM Norway can set forth to do such a
task, but if there should be some wealthy person out there that might be
able to involve himself in such a task, I think it would be a very
worthy gift to the mankind (where is the women!) to do such a thing.
Google might be interested. In principle, they will scan for Google
Books everything you send them that is out of copyright. Also, perhaps
the Million Book Project. Maybe descendants of owners, editors, or
journalists of these newspapers will be interested to help too.
I'll notify some people.
