Sara, Have you spoken to anyone at the UChicago Libraries? I may be possible to include your catalogs if they are participating in any digitization projects like Google Books or http://OpenLibrary.org. I know the Field Museum included some of the Fieldiana publications in UIUC scanning projects.
Now, whether this is up to snuff regarding desired quality for catalogs may be another matter.
