I suggest removing the footer for CC for any page linking to archival material and adding a note about the ownership. Legally speaking, we need to ask permission to reproduce most of these stuff, but if we make the clear distinction on where CC ends and copyrighted stuff starts, then we could benefit from fair use rules (although with large verbatim reproduction we are going to fail test 3).
The bottom line is as long as the curators and maintainers of this archive are very clear about the intent and scope, then it is okay until someone complains.
I can own this effort if we are in agreement.
