Is there any way to get ahold of old copies of the American Ecclesiastical Review? The individual articles I've read from it are outstanding (including contributions by Ottaviani) and there are few writings you can find these days that are comparable in breadth and scope (the possible exception being John McCarthy and Brian Harrison's work for the Roman Theological Forum).
It may be a worthwhile project for someone to look into what it would take to transfer the material to the Internet. At a time where Catholic Universities have stripped the title "theologian" of any useful meaning, the wisdom of dedicated Catholic theologians of a generation past are welcome and necessary.
You could try emailing the Catholic Culture staff - they must have gotten copyright permission and the articles from someone. CUA Press might still have old copies. I agree, the articles in the journal which have been put online are brilliant.
I did find this: "Vols. 16-169 (last publ.). 1897-1975. Bound" for $2500. Bit expensive...it gives an email to ask for quotes on individual issues though.

Yep.
John Vennari has been re-printing quite a bit of material from American Ecclesiastical Review in Catholic Family News. I believe that he is travelling to his local seminary library and transcribing old copies by hand.
