Please do not forget PubMed Central.  While they are not a publisher, they encourage publishers to deposit all of their current journal content.

"NLM is digitizing earlier print issues of many of the journals already in PMC. Although immediate free access to all content is most desirable, a journal may delay release of its full text in PMC for some period of time after publication. See the Deposit and Access Policies for more information."

For more information see 'Back Issue Digitization'    http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/about/scanning.html

Hi.  I'm trying to compile a list of the publishers that have or are in
the process of digitzing their backfiles.  Here's what I've got so far:

Elsevier
Wiley
Springer (including Kluwer)
Taylor & Francis
OUP

Who am I missing?  Anything incorrect in the above list?

Many thanks.

Andrew
