Just for grins, look over the document carefully. Many of the older
publications never claimed a copyright.
See 17 USC 304. It appears to be 28 years with the possibility of an
additional 67 year extension, but I would sure be willing to argue that if
the right was never claimed in the first instance it was voluntarily placed
in the public domain.
Bottom line, post it and see who complains. :) Sometimes it's easier to beg
forgiveness than it is to ask permission.

I thought that copyrights expired after 18 years, and could only be renewed
a couple of times. Since BL is a non entitity, I can't see why anyone would
hassle you about scanning and posting this info. As long as there's no money
changing hands, there shouldn't be a problem.
