Does anyone remember the pulp magazine Astounding Stories of Super Science? I was browsing on the Internet Archive, and found two complete years and parts of two others:
http://www.archive.org/details/Astounding_Stories_of_Super_Science_1930
http://www.archive.org/details/Astounding_Stories_of_Super_Science_1931
http://www.archive.org/details/Astounding_Stories_of_Super_Science_1932 (incomplete)
http://www.archive.org/details/Astounding_Stories_of_Super_Science_1933 (incomplete)
They seem to be public domain due to the fact that their copyrights weren't renewed in 1958-1961. (That's a whole other legal discussion.)
Unfortunately, it's just page scans, but I hope someone else will help to get them typed and posted. Anyone interested?
I've done two stories so far: The Dark Side Of Antri (http://sjg1978.web.officelive.com/Documents/TheDarkSideOfAntri.html) and The Sunken Empire (http://sjg1978.web.officelive.com/Documents/TheSunkenEmpire.html), both from January 1931.
Now what would be really cool is if the rest of the series could be found also, but I don't know where to find that.

They are going through proofreading and will be found from project Gutenberg sooner or later (The are listed on Distributed Proofreades site) - so no need to star typing them.

I didn't know DP was working on them. But PGDP does seem to have slowed down a lot since I was last involved a couple of years ago. For simple, short fiction, I can probably do it faster myself than wait in the queue for their 1,000 person crew.

Maybe you can even bounce your work over to them and give them a leg up.
