A digital collection of this newspaper is already available in the Gale databases. How comprehensive this collection is I have no idea. My access to Gale comes through my membership of the State Library of Victoria (Australia), and I presume that other large libraries have also subscribed. For me, this resource has been invaluable (not just Manx but many many English newspapers as well) so it is worthwhile asking your library if they already/are prepared to subscribe. I don't want to be inundated but I'm happy to have a look for a while, if people tell me a key word and a time period - say Mylrea, 1800-1850. I can at least tell you what's there. Rather than clog up this notice board, people might like to email me directly - dibanks at bigpond.net.au
