Sounds like a great project. There are many remarkable documents from that century ... explorers in many realms, science pioneers making great strides. Re their statement: "What we do not have is a good way to integrate work on these projects with the Internet Archive’s processing flow. So we need help and ideas there as well." ... maybe there are still people from the Gutenberg project around, they used to be handling human-transcribed stuff at quite a volume. (Personally I'd rather type stuff in than 'repairing' bad OCR, that constant back-and-forth is just aggravating. I'd be glad to dig in on something personally interesting, like say a little-remembered expedition or research in an area of interest ... they could arrange stuff by subject that way and then put up wish-lists for volunteers. History is full of forgotten amazings.)
