Probably, they will claim some kind of copyrights over the digitalisation of the 1911 Encyclopedia.
That's not possible from the point of view of the copyright law as scanning is not a creative expression and the copyright of the original material has expired. The only thing which is possible is to claim copyright on additional markup, layout, presentation and additional graphics.
