That's great news Peter!
Perhaps you could include dissertations as well?
The Spanish National Library has also recently digitized some stuff.

Subject: [LUTE] Re: Nina bass line
I've started an database of online facsimile sources of lute and closely
related books, drawing heavily on links posted to this list and the French
list over the last few months.
http://creator.zoho.com/peterskeeter/
Actually there are two databases:
1) Online sources of lute and early
music<http://creator.zoho.com/peterskeeter/online-sources-of-lute-and-early-music/>,
i.e. websites
2) Lute and early music
books<http://creator.zoho.com/peterskeeter/lute-and-early-music-books/>,
linking directly to individual books on these sites (Spinacino, Barley,
Blow
..)
The good thing about these databases, if I've set them up correctly, is
that
anyone can add to them. So if you know of other online gems out there,
please add them to the list!

I think the advantage to putting this info online, not just for
musicologists with Case X access (the x files),
is for the average musician/voice student who has ben fed dreadful
versions of pieces--
pieces that could provide a terrific reason to study early music.
Also, by putting it online, there would be a kind of reality check to
save voice students from their teachers.
To be clear, I advocate a free edition, with some alternate and
usable accompaniments, with free or online facsimiles to open a
discussion.
There must be thousands of people who could be encouraged to study
lute & continuo songs.
