Try this: http://www.almeshkat.net/books/index.php

It is not necessarily a source for 19th/early 20th century materials, but it does have many many text-based (therefore searchable) materials in writings from the long course of Islamic civilization, some of them indeed from the 19th and 20th centuries (and of course much earlier centuries as well). You once mentioned to me a peculiar term, "site sucker." By the sound of it, such a tool would come useful for a resource such as this one.

ٌI also have an article in pdf format, provided to me by list member Benjamin Geer discussing the word ثقافة and its acquisition of the meaning "culture" toward the beginning of the 20th cent. Now that I look at it, I don't have a citation! But Ben could perhaps provide it?

As A-L doesn't accept attachments, I am sending it to you by separate cover. 

I'd be happy to provide it to any other member.

I believe the Arabic Press Archive of The Moshe Dayan Center at Tel-Aviv
University has a digitizing project of newspapers from the 19th-20th
centuries. 

You might want to check with them:

There are lots of texts electronically available –I find particular works by doing Google search.  Sibawayh’s Kitaab in MS Word was a particularly spectacular find—a searchable Kitaab!  The site that it is on is
http://www.almeshkat.net/books/index.php
 
My sense is that even though these are “turaath” sites they do have some nahDa era things—by searching author on Meshkat for Tahtawi I found this:
http://www.almeshkat.net/books/search.php?do=all&u=%C7%E1%D8%E5%D8%C7%E6%ED
 
Here is the link to al-Jabarti’s 3ajaa’ib al-aathaar:
http://www.almeshkat.net/books/search.php?do=all&u=%C7%E1%CC%C8%D1%CA%ED
 
and here is another site that I know has Arabic texts because I have found them from Google search links—but I can’t figure out how to find things on it myself yet.
http://www.archive.org/
 
Best,
Kristen
