Some magazines (like Practical Electronics) offer subscribers an
electronic edition (or a CD with back issues). If Computer Shopper
have that available you might try just contacting them and seeing
if they've already got the data and whether they'd let you have a copy
as you are a museum ...

Does the museum have a dispensation to just go ahead and scan?
If not, wouldn't you have speak to them to ask for permission anyway ...
