Early Oud Method Books

I'm searching for pdfs of turn of the century oud method books. The ones I know of are
• Serif Muhiddin Targan's "Ud Metodu"
• Ûdî Ali Salâhî Bey's "Ud Metodu", “Hocasız Ud Öğrenmek”, 1910 and “İlâveli Ud Muallimi”, 1924
• Fahri Kopuz's Oud method, “Nazarî, Amelî Ud Dersleri,” 1920.
• Udî Sadi Erdem's “Ud Medodu.”
• Udî Kadri Şençalar's “Ud Metodu”

It might be nice to see some of the contemporary method books like
• Ziya Santur, “Santur Metodu” 1910, 1947; “Ney Metodu,” 1947.
• Abdülkadir Töre, “Usul-i Tâlim-i Keman,” 1913; “Türk Musikisi Keman Metodu,” 1921.

They must exist somewhere out there. Anyone know where some virtual copies of these may be floating around?

Do you live near any major Universities? They usually have well-stocked libraries, and if they cover topics like the history and culture of the Levant, the Mediterranean basin, the Persian Gulf, etc, they should have either the books themselves, or know who might have them. And since the books are themselves plenty old enough, they should be in the Public Domain so such a University library should make no trouble over digitizing them and putting them up either on their own web site or on the Archive.org website.
