Last time I checked (which was many years ago), Apple still had OS 9.x 
software downloadable from their website - or maybe that was only OS 9 
updates.  If it's still there, it is probably difficult to find and may 
very well have been removed.  Here is the link where I have downloaded 
stuff before, but these links did not work for me just now:

http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/

I also found OS 8.x stuff on their "older software" section in the Apple 
Downloads part of their website here, but no OS 9 stuff.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA48312?viewlocale=en_US

So, maybe this reminds me that they made OS 8.x and older stuff 
available, but didn't make OS 9 freely available for some reason. 
Regardless, I would consider contacting Apple Support directly.  You 
might be surprised what you get.

I know I have the latest OS 9 software on floppy - which I used for my 
Powerbook 3400 and Kanga G3 3500.  If you don't find an easy source, I 
might be able to find it and make disk images for you, but you would 
have to be patient as it is buried deep in a box somewhere.

Regards,
Mike
