I discussed this issue with Bob Braden and Chris some months ago, when I was
looking for IEN-19. The short answer is that ISI has a set of hardcopies,
and someone scanned them in, but the scanning had some problems, and they
are hard to read. (You can see one such scan here:

  http://ana-3.lcs.mit.edu/~jnc/tech/ien/ien26.pdf

to see what it looks like.) I don't think that anyone has made those scans
publicly available; I think Chris has copies of the scans, because I got this
one from her.

There shouldn't be any problem locating complete hardcopy sets of IEN's to
scan in; in addition to the set at ISI, the Charles Babbage Institute has a
set, as part of the "Alex McKenzie Collection of Computer Networking
Development Records, 1969-1990 (CBI 123)":
