Jul 12, 2016 at 15:06 comment added Dima Pasechnik There is also a book by H.F. Blichfeldt, "Finite Collineation Groups", U. of Chicago Press, 1917, that contains a chapter of degree 3 case. It's not hard to read; except that the terminology is old... I have an e-copy and can email you a link to it.

Jul 7, 2016 at 22:09 comment added Jim Humphreys The articles of H.F. Blichfeldt in the AMS Transactions are indeed freely available on the internet: ams.org/epubsearch/servlet/…
Jul 7, 2016 at 21:07 comment added Nicolas Thanks Derek. I found Mitchell's article. To answer your question, I only have access to articles freely available on the internet.

Jul 7, 2016 at 20:06 comment added Derek Holt This is also done in Determination of the ordinary and modular ternary linear groups Howard H. Mitchell. Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 12 (1911), 207-242, but that is a long and complicate paper. Why can't you find Blichfeldt's papers? Do you not have access to Trans Amer Math Soc? It's an interesting question, because all of the modern treatments that I have found seem to cite Blichfeldt or Mitchell.
