Great, I don't mind helping, when I know where and what. An obvious suggestion but do we want to have a wiki to 1) Coordinating download/scans/error checking 2)Upload the pdf's to and 3) store the OCR's and as a base for error checking?

Ok I contacted them.They are claiming copyright over the scans but not
over the textual content. If we ran the scans though an optical
character recognition system we would be ok although there would
probably be ok although then there is the issue of errors made by the
program. I didn't ask about the situation in the US with regards to
Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp.
