For what its worth....
 
When we do "big" projects (excavation, large scale surveys etc.) we often  
produce two reports.  The first is the technical document that has site  
locations, legal information, significance.  That is the report for the  SHPO, 
agencies and reviewers.  If our client/agenies are agreeable we might  take our 
detailed historic context or site history with references and send it  to the 
local museum or research library where we did historical research for  their 
collection.  They love local history information.  Sometimes we  take the overall 
report, remove all site locational or sensitive data and  send that report to 
the libraries/museums.  It depends on the  sensitivity of the project how much 
information is released (and always with  approval from clients or the 
agency). 
 
We do so much local history research and writing it seems a shame not to  get 
it back out to the public one way or another, since many projects are funded  
with public money. This is our solution.  As far as grey literature going  
out to other archaeologists, that is a harder issue to resolve and I welcome any 
 good solution!
