They have the microfiche files at my local university library (UC Santa Cruz). They let you make copies off the readers. Then I transcribe them into Word and post from there.

I would like to thank you for going to so much trouble to create these new transcriptions and for posting these on Free Republic.

When you say "transcribe", does this mean that you are retyping each of these articles? If so, have you considered instead using an OCR system to automate some of the work?
