Thanks to Gary Price and InfoDocket:

"The MIT Press and the Internet Archive have announced a partnership,
with support from Arcadia, to scan, preserve, and enable libraries to
lend hundreds of MIT Press books that are currently not available
digitally."

"An initial group of 1,500 MIT Press titles will be scanned at
Internet Archive’s Boston Public Library facility, including Cyril
Stanley Smith’s 1980 book, "From Art to Science: Seventy-Two Objects
Illustrating the Nature of Discovery," and Frederick Law Olmsted and
Theodora Kimball’s "Forty Years of Landscape Architecture: Central
Park," which was published in 1973. The oldest title in the group is
Arthur C. Hardy’s 1936 "Handbook of Colorimetry."

"The Internet Archive has already begun digitizing MIT Press’ backlist
and anticipates lending copies as early as next month. The entire
backlist should be available by the end of 2017."
