Some magazines (like Practical Electronics) offer

have that available you might try just contacting them and seeing
if they've already got the data and whether they'd let you have a copy
as you are a museum ...
That's a really good idea - thanks. (I'm now trying to work out if
computershopper.com is anything to do with the magazine - hard to tell. Plus
there seem to be two different sites claiming to be for computer shopper
magazine subscriptions - which makes me think that at least one of them must
be bogus!)
Does the museum have a dispensation to just go ahead
and scan?
If not, wouldn't you have speak to them to ask for permission anyway ...
Very murky waters there - it's hard to tell. The museum would certainly need
to seek permission to "make public" any scans, but I suspect that initially
scanning for the purposes of preservation within the museum group wouldn't
fall foul of anything (but IANAL etc. :-)
