Compiling (and mining) such a list is something I have wanted to do for 
a while. As far as I know, although there are many digitizations freely 
available on the net (eg on archive.org & google books), there isn't 
actually a database of them.

I'm waiting to see how open philosophy http://openphilosophy.org/ and 
textus http://textusproject.org/ work; they could be the example to follow.

Although, of course, if there's sufficient interest now, I'd be very 
happy to work on such a project immediately.
