FINAL UPDATE:
Earlier today, Professor Alvino Fantini kindly sent me the following Email:
QUOTE
Thanks again for your enthusiasm and support in trying to make language materials accessible to the public.
For your information, these materials have now been incorporated as a collection within the Institutional Archives (the collections were recently expanded from 16 to 30). As such, we are in the process of seeking grants to aid digitalization of select archival materials that would be made accessible to the public.
This process of course will take time, but it is our hope to be able to do precisely what you have proposed as part of an institutional effort to serve the public.
I attach an archives brochure for your information and thank you for your continued interest.
UNQUOTE
As I am not familiar with the copying/pasting of images in this Forum, in place of providing the PDF version of the brochure that Professor Fantini sent to me, I have typed below what I see as the essential information for those who might wish to pursue their interest in the E.I.L. Language Courses.

The World Learning Institutional Archives: Access and Use
The Archives is available to World Learning faculty, staff, and students, as well as alumni and researchers. Because the Archives is operated by volunteers, access is by appointment.
Contact the Archives Chair in advance to establish a date and time to use the archives as well as to ensure that the Archives has the type of material that you seek.
For further details regarding access and use, please consult the Archives link located with the Donald B. Watt Library website: www.sit.edu/archives.

CLOSURE:
I am closing my file on this project. Before doing so, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all those who lent their encouragement and support including, more particularly, to pir, ericounet, and n_j_f for having volunteered to convert the materials, with additional special thanks to ericounet for having accepted to include the materials on the FSI-Language-Courses website.
