>1) How does one get in touch with publishers that no longer publish?
Try everything. Contact the original distributor, publishing house, look
for the specific authors in the industry and check with industry sources
such as long-running distributorships.
>2) How long does copyright last?
Forever - functionally. In practice according to the laws right now most
works of fiction published before 1935 are fair game. Works published wince
1978 last "The Life of the Author PLUS seventy years." See:

>i.e. do
>the conversion and just post it on the net?
Yes without a doubt. You can be sued.
