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 and The Sunken Empire, 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.
