The nearest to what you ask I have seen at Wikimedia Commons, esp. in the biology category, participants digitize drawings from books for usage in all Wikimedia projects. These are then categorized, also by book title, e.g. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Beobachtungen_aus_der_Zoologie_und_vergleichenden_Anatomie or http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:The_Natural_History_of_Sokotra_and_Abd-el-Kuri The latter example refers in Source to a biodiversity.org page which has all metadata and page info, so, theoretically, a bot could collect all this in a database. Surely, commons would be a good start for such a project, anyway.
