JSTOR, as was said by multiple individuals above, is a perfect candidate to approach. They're non-profit, they have some fulltext, and they could help greatly with out history articles.
JSTOR also claims ownership over a great deal of indisputably public domain works. I'd hate to think that a penny of my donations to the WMF would be going to support such organizations.

I personally would even be willing to donate to cover WMF's costs against my access in this regard, provided they can negotiate reasonable block purchase pricing. Individual subscriptions are unfortunately rather priced out of the market.
Then as I stated in the old thread I linked to: Get a library card for a nearby university library. In absolute terms it's not cheap, but it's likely the least expensive way for you to get the access... and it doesn't require anything new: you can do it today.
