Project Gutenberg is a depository and helps by providing mailing
lists, but it doesnt *do* digitisation.  Project Gutenberg Europe
might be able to help you find someone.

Distributed Proofreaders (DP) is the project that does the hard work,
and is where you will find people to help.

There is a DP Europe, but they dont appear to have produced many
etexts; still - it is worth letting them know as someone might be
looking for this golden opportunity.

Internet Archive might also be able to help; I have forwarded your
email to someone who works there.
