The contents on the virtual consoles can be read via the device files
vcs* (see man vcs). The vcs<n> where n>0 contains the _text_ on the
virtual console n. vcs0 has the contents on the currently displayed vc.
The vcsa* give you the same, but also contain the cursor position, screen
size and attributes.
I don't think there is a way to get the contents of the screen of a tty
other than the vc:s, but I'm not sure.
