The best model for cases like this would be to develop a method where we have an agreed partner who'll digitise culturally significant material at a reasonable cost (or a group who can do it in-house, but for material like this that's tricky) and a standing offer to fund it for certain classes of limited-availability material like this. We then approach the auctioneers or booksellers, talk them in to letting us have it for a day to scan it, and let them do as they will after that.
We need to develop in-house volunteer expertise, yes.
So. What do we need?
