I assume you are aware of Project Gutenberg, which has been doing precisely that, and may have some of what you want done already?

If not, go here: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page

You also might wish to sign up for Distributed Proofreaders, which is the main feed of clean copy to be included in the Gutenberg archives.

Go here: http://www.pgdp.net/c/

As for scanning, it's labor intensive. What scanner do you have?
