Leverett's Lexicon of the Latin Language

I notice that the space for “Lexicon/Dictionary” on the “Learn Latin” page here is still blank. I have scanned page images of F.P. Leverett’s approximately 1000-page Lexicon of the Latin Language (full title: A New and Copious Lexicon of the Latin Language, Compiled Chiefly from the Magnum Totius Latinitatis Lexicon of Facciolati and Forcellini, and the German Works of Scheller and Luenemann), published in 1844. The image quality is similar to that of the existing PDF of Allen & Greenough’s New Latin Grammar. Would anyone be interested in seeing these turned into a PDF file for the “Lexicon/Dictionary” slot?

That’s one of my favorite Latin dictionaries. It is especially useful for late works as it lists many words that were not listed in Lewis and Short. I’ve love to see it online.

Two other great ones (that include words from all periods) are Ainsworth and the bulky English edition of Scheller (translated by J. E. Ridddle).

OK, next question, if anyone reading this can answer it: What’s the procedure for submitting the existing HTML pages and GIF images to have them turned into a PDF file for online distribution?
