Alternatively, we could store it as images online. That would take a lot of bandwidth, but... it would preserve the original much much better.

I've long felt that the 1911EB should be carried in its entirety on Wikisource, as should the 1921 12th edition. (The 12th was just a repeat of the 11th edition with 3 supplementary volumes, which probably explains why it is so seldom mentioned.) That would be an enormous task.
Maybe we can get a "real" copy of the 1921 edition to WikiMania, and have scanners/digital cameras manned with volunteers. Once we have everything as images, we can OCR/type/proofread online in a distributed fashion. We're kinda good at that :-)
