Access to journal articles
As you know when trying to access academic journals online, there is often a fee associated with them. Most institutions provide these materials to their students, faculty, members and alumni. We could negotiate to likewise offer access.

We may have to pay for this, we may get it as a donation from them that we turn around and use to encourage people to donate to us.

Looking at About Physical Review Letters, we see

Features for Authors

* Free to Read – Authors or other parties may choose to pay a one-time fee to make chosen articles available to all readers at no cost and without a subscription.

As a society, we could approach several key publications and see if we could make articles available to our members with either a password, or what have you.

Something, again, which needs to be researched and negotiated.

There should be an app for this : )

I like this idea. A lot of these articles cost $30 or more.
