To bad the quality of the scans is a little on the low side. With a tiny bit of training, an OCR could produce JSTOR style and quality PDF over Text scans (i.e. not really that great, but better than nothing). And the scanning is the real cost intensive thing if you don't proof.

It doesn't like like it is searchable. The collection consists of scanned images of each page. But it's very clear, and every jot and tittle is present. I suppose you could, if you chose, download each page.
But the important thing is that every volume published thus far is available.
